Andrew P. Michel

Andrew P. Michel's research focuses on insect pests of major row crops such as soybean and corn, studying their genetics, resistance to control methods (including Bt toxins and resistant plant varieties), and population monitoring. The work spans molecular genetics (e.g., resistance mutations, transcriptomics), field ecology (sampling plans, pest phenology), and occasional applications of genomic surveillance tools to other organisms including viruses. Overall the research aims to improve pest management strategies for agriculture through a combination of lab-based genetic analysis and field-based sampling and ecology.

Publication output was higher around 2017 and has generally declined and become more variable over the past decade, though a notable spike occurred in 2025 after a slower period in 2022-2024.
