About the Principal Investigator

With a B.A. in Classics and Philosophy in hand, Tony decided to work in business for a few years, then go into Biology.  Marine Biology looked like the ticket for him (and hundreds of other fans of Jacque Coustou) until he realized he gets seasick.  A Zoology Professor turned him on to the fascinating world of insects and this seemed to suit his tastes for a discipline that would blend biology, food production and environmental issues.  Tony went to UC Riverside for his M.S. and Ph.D. in Entomology, where he studied insect pest management and biological control. He came straight from his Ph.D. work to Cornell where he has spent his career.  Tony is an International Professor of Entomology at Cornell and, in 2010, he was elected a Fellow of the Entomological Society of America.
