Ola Lundin's research is focused on beneficial and pest insect interactions with crops, and includes the agronomic impacts, drivers and management of such interactions in a cropping systems perspective.

Teaching

I teach primarily on the Crop Production BSc program. I am course leader and teach community ecology on the Ecology (BI1252) course and I also teach on the Introduction course – Crop production (LB0125) in crop protection against insects on the course Plant production - weeds and pests (BI1352). 

Students interested in writing their thesis on crop protection against insects, beneficial insects or diversified cropping systems are welcome to contact me.
