Harrison studies the highly invasive Tree of Heaven (Ailanthus altissima), its potential biological control Verticillium nonalfalfae, and the effect of Verticillium wilt on spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula).
The Interfaces of Global Change IGEP provides PhD students with a unique intellectual focus and training.
