Adjunct Associate Professor
Overview
Dr Moradi is an entomologist with extensive experience using novel technologies to control plant and animal insect pests. As a research scientist at DAF currently she is scoping out new projects to use flies as vectors of vaccines for livestock.she is also developing projects on using Nano technology for livestock exctosparsite control.
