Assoc. Prof. Dr. Soumaya Haouel Hamdi | Entomology | Editorial Board Member

National Agricultural Research Institute of Tunisia (INRAT) | Tunisia

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Soumaya Haouel Hamdi is an accomplished agricultural entomologist whose research centers on environmentally sustainable pest management. She specializes in the insecticidal, fumigant, and repellent potential of plant-derived essential oils, botanical extracts, and natural metabolites against major stored-product pests and field-crop insects. Her work offers key insights into insect behavior, host discrimination mechanisms, pest–seed interactions, and chemical ecology, highlighting the vital role of secondary metabolites in plant–insect dynamics. She has demonstrated strong expertise in phytochemical characterization, bioactivity screening, and advanced botanical delivery systems, including nanoparticle and encapsulation technologies that enhance the efficiency of natural biopesticides. Through an extensive body of published work, supported by more than six hundred citations and an h-index of thirteen across thirty scientific documents, she is widely recognized for advancing innovative, green pest-control solutions. Her research continues to strengthen sustainable agriculture, integrated pest management, and postharvest protection through bio-based strategies that reduce dependence on synthetic chemicals.
