Dr. Waseem Abbas

Assistant Professor
Department of Entomology
Full Name: Dr. Waseem Abbas
Designation: Assistant Professor
Qualification: Ph.D.
Specialization: Entomology, Stored grain pest management, Controlled Atmospheres, Insect ecophysiology and respiration physiology
Research Areas: The primary area of my research is the management of insect pests in stored grains using eco-friendly approaches to optimise both farm- and bulk-scale storage. I explore the largely ignored ecophysiology of stored pests to incorporate respiration physiology into Controlled atmospheres (CA) research to address the overwhelming need for overlap between both fields to potentiate CA as a promising alternative to chemical fumigation. I am amenable to expanding my expertise in ecophysiology to study water balance and gas exchange dynamics of insects found in diverse habitats ranging from deserts and households to field crops.
