Aditya Ganesh
PhD student at FISC specializing in ecological research on biological invasions.
Understanding the ecology of Douglas-fir and its insect herbivores is essential for forestry, where the dual challenges of climate change and biological invasions demand proactive research to anticipate risks, safeguard biodiversity, and ensure resilient forest management.

Specialization

Aditya is an ecologist specializing in ecological research on biological invasions, with an emphasis on the interactions between Douglas-fir and its associated insect herbivores. As part of his work, he investigates factors influencing the invasiveness of Douglas-fir around the world and analyzes global trends among its insect herbivores. He also models the climatic niche of major pests and their damage, both in their native range and in world regions where Douglas-fir is planted.
