Desiring to use my creativity, problem solving skills. Seeking to apply new ideas and perspectives. EDUCATION PhD. In Entomology| National Chung Hsing University, Taiwan, Department of Entomology 2014 – 2018 Supervisor: Shaw-Yhi Hwang Thesis title: New insights of the biology and development of Black Soldier Fly Hermetia illucens L. (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) in different temperatures M.Sc. In Entomology |National Chung Hsing University, Taiwan, Department of Entomology 2010 – 2012 Supervisor: Shaw-Yhi Hwang Thesis title: Temperature-dependent development and distribution of Cybocephalus flavocapitis Smith (Coleoptera: Cybocephalidae) a predator of Aulacaspis yasumatsui Takagi (Hemiptera: Diaspididae), in Taiwan B.Sc. In Biology| National Autonomous University of Honduras 1996 – 2006 Monograph title: Catalog of the Sphingidae of Honduras and Xylophanes ceratomioides (Grote & Robinson, 1867) (Sphingidae) antenna images and description, using the t-Butanol Freeze drying method for the Scanning Electron Microscope observation. EXPERIENCE Curator of the arthropod collection | Zamorano Pan-American University Jan. 2005– Dec. 2006 I gained valuable experience working with classification of insects and identification at the arthropod collection of Zamorano Pan-American School where I strengthened my interest and skills in entomology. Instructor of the Entomology laboratory | Zamorano Pan-American University 2005, 2006 and 2008 For students of the third year of Agricultural Science and Production, techniques of pinning and mounting, insect identification up to the family taxonomic level were provided Research Assistant | Zamorano Pan-American University 2008 – 2009 I have assisted to the production of predatory mites Neoseiulus californicus and N. longispinosus as an alternative biological control of Tetranychus species in Honduras. I also have established the mass production of Ephestia kuehniella eggs for feeding Orius insidiosus. RESEARCH Short Term Scholar| Biological Control Research & Containment Laboratory Indian River Research and Education Center, University of Florida 2007 – 2008 Conducted experiments and colony maintenance of Ischnodemus variegatus (Signoret), Gratiana boliviana Spaeth and Episimus utilis Zimmerman, USA (2007-2008). SKILLS I have been trained in the utilization of Hardworking, dedicated and with age-stage, two-sex life table for a correct, problem solving skills complete, and comprehensive description Well rounded person on the stage-structured, two-sex insect Talents in artistry and long distance demography. running PUBLICATIONS: - Samayoa A.
