Maryam Nouri-Aiin

Research Assistant Professor

I am an entomologist and soil ecologist working at the intersection of biological control, microbial ecology, and invasive species dynamics. My research explores how entomopathogenic fungi, insects, and microbes interact across agroecosystems—and how these relationships shift under environmental stress.
