Entomology, The Pennsylvania State University, 2015Biography: Dr. Maggie Lewis received her Ph.D. in entomology from the University of Maryland under the supervision of Dr. Kelly Hamby. She previously completed her B.S. in molecular environmental biology at the University of California–Berkeley and her M.S. in entomology with Dr. Shelby Fleischer at Pennsylvania State University. Throughout her graduate career, Lewis has worked to advance integrated pest management in a variety of fruit and vegetable cropping systems. Her dissertation research broadly focused on applying knowledge of the ecology and behavior of spotted-wing drosophila for more sustainable management, with a particular emphasis on its interactions with yeast and hyphal fungal microbes. In addition to her research, Lewis mentored multiple undergraduate student researchers during her Ph.D. and actively engaged in extension outreach to small fruit growers and other stakeholders. Lewis completed an NSF postdoctoral fellow at the Ohio State University, aiming to understand how abiotic stressors impact host plant resistance in soybeans, and is now a Research Scientist for Dr. Andy Michel.
