Affiliation
Teaching
Seth is a graduate teaching assistant and helps out with practical sessions for the Medical Parasitology and Biology and Control of Disease Vectors.
Research
Currently working on a PhD on the oviposition of Culex mosquitoes. The goal of this project is to develop a standardized chemical lure for ovipositing Culex and to gain insight into other aspects of Culex oviposition behaviour as it relates to sampling. Fieldwork for this project has begun at the Ifakara Health Institute, in Ifakara, Tanzania.
