Shu-Sheng Liu earned his PhD from the Australian National University and CSIRO Division of Entomology. His main research interests include biological invasion by alien insect pests, tripartite interactions between insect vectors/viruses/plants, behavioural and chemical ecology and biological control and integrated pest management in vegetable crops. His research currently focuses on invasion biology of the whitefly Bemisia tabaci species complex and integrated pest management in vegetable crops. In particular, investigating the behavioural, ecological, physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying the rapid invasion by alien species of the whitefly species complex, including: (1) whitefly-begomovirus-plant interactions (2) the systematics of the whitefly Bemisia tabaci complex; and (3) the behavioural interactions between alien and native whitefly species. www.whiteflyresearch.org
