Dr Joe Roberts
BSc (Hons) PgC MSc PhD FHEA FRESReader in Integrated Pest Management
Dr Joe Roberts FHEA FRES is an applied entomologist with a PhD in invertebrate chemical ecology from Harper Adams University (UK) whose expertise sits at the intersection of biology, analytical chemistry and agriculture. He studies plant-insect interactions from a chemical perspective to develop novel pest management tools that reduce societal reliance on synthetic chemical pesticides in global agricultural production systems.
Dr Roberts is a Trustee of the Royal Entomological Society and an active committee member of the Association of Applied Biology Integrated Pest Management specialist interest group. He is also the current chair of the Royal Entomological Society's Educationa and Training Committee.
