Matthew Hetherington
PhD Entomology '23 - Guedot Lab
Education:
2017-2023: Ph.D. Entomology, University of Wisconsin-Madison
M.S. Biology, University of Arkansas: Little Rock (2017)
B.S. Biology, University of Memphis (2015)
Research Interests:
I am broadly interested in ecology and behavior. My current project focuses on the chemical ecology underlying host choice and preference in extremely polyphagous insects (Lygus bugs) and whether these behaviors can be exploited in an agricultural context.
Personal Interests:
In my free time I play Dungeons and Dragons with several other Entomology graduate students. I also enjoy board games, hiking, gardening, baking, and reading.
