research overview

My research interests have focused on topics important to international agriculture. From 1977-1992, emphasis was on developing and implementing potato and sweet potato integrated pest management programs in developing countries. Those efforts were in close collaboration with the faculty in the Cornell potato breeding and pest management program. From 1993-1996, I worked as the AmeriCenter Director for International Service for Acquisition of Agri Biotech Applications (ISAAA) on the safe transfer of proprietary applications in plant biotechnology available in the North to developing countries in the South. I also teach two courses titled: Agriculture in Developing Nations 402 and 602. The 602 course involves a field trip to India. I am also coordinating the dual degree MPS/MTech program in Plant Breeding and Food Science.
