Research interests in our lab include genetics, genomics, behaviors and ecology of invasive ants, with a particular emphasis on invasive fire ants (Solenopsis) and crazy ants (Paratrechina & Anoplolepis). We also are interested in various topics in the research field of urban entomology, particularly on understanding how insects adapt to anthropogenic environments and mechanisms underlying such adaptation.

Major ongoing projects in our lab are focused on:
1. reconstruction of invasion history for globally invasive ants using historic record and genetic/genomic resources
2. characterization of ant invasiveness through behavioral, genetic and genomic approach
3. to link behavioral, physiological responses of invasive ants to pathogen infection and potential adaptive advantages
4. application of our research outcome into development of a bio-rational management framework against invasive ants
5. development of novel management strategies on urban pests
