Research interests
Andrea’s research focuses on the epidemiology and management of plant diseases, particularly clubroot disease in canola. She is interested in understanding the ecological dynamics of fungal and protist pathogens and developing sustainable disease management strategies that enhance crop resilience. Her work integrates field studies, laboratory experiments and data analysis to explore how environmental factors and agricultural practices influence disease outbreaks. In teaching, she aims to inspire students by connecting scientific theory with practical applications in plant pathology and crop protection, encouraging them to engage critically with the challenges of sustainable agriculture and plant health management. | Eukaryotic microbial ecology, plant pathology, epidemiology of plant diseases, crop protection, sustainable agriculture, plant disease management
