Kok-Boon Neoh is a Professor at the Department of Entomology at National Chung Hsing University. He published more than 60 peer-reviewed papers. He was a visiting researcher at the University of California, Riverside, and Anastasia Mosquito Control District in St. Augustine. His research primarily focuses on the ecology of urban pests and pest management, including cockroaches, mosquitos, and ants. 

The Laboratory of Insect Ecology and Pest Management focuses on pest management issues in urban areas. We look at pest management issues in a wider context that includes understanding of the biology, behavior and ecology of an insect pest – following the notion that ‘by knowing your “enemy” the prospects for successful management will be greatly enhanced’. In addition, we do not lose sight on topics in ecological-scale such as species diversity, community stability under the effect of landscape modification, socioeconomic needs as well as global climate change as we hold with the idea that pest emergence and species invasion arise if diversity-stability theory is breached. We include a wide range of potentially pest insects, notably mosquitos, cockroaches, ants and rove beetles as our main subject of study.
