معرفی
Consuelo De Moraes is a Full Professor at the Department of Environmental Systems Science, ETH Zürich. Her research centers on chemical signaling in ecological interactions, particularly plant-insect relationships, with applications in sustainable agriculture, conservation, and human health. She teaches courses in insect biology, plant-insect interactions, and ecological communication for Environmental Systems Science and Biology students.
Research Focus: Her work explores sensory cues in shaping multi-trophic interactions, including olfactory signaling, disease transmission by vectors, and plant defense mechanisms. Current projects address ecological questions with implications for agroecosystems and public health.
