Clifford S. Sadof studies insect pests that affect trees in urban and managed landscapes, with a strong focus on the emerald ash borer and various scale insects that damage ornamental and forest trees. His work combines pest biology, insecticide efficacy testing, and biological control (natural predators) to develop practical pest management strategies for cities, nurseries, and forests. Prospective students would likely engage in applied entomology research connecting insect ecology to real-world tree management programs.
