Research
Broadly skilled grassland entomologist whose research has focused on pest management, and biocontrol of pasture pests. Her research has covered fundamental laboratory studies to understand insect behaviour and biology, field-based population studies through to the integration of pest management strategies and biological control of pests, including grasshopper,aphid, thrips et al on grassland and in forage production systems. Dr Ban has conducted sole research but also developed strong collaborations with researchers both in China and oversea.
