Research and Extension
Dr. Braman began work at the University of Georgia in 1989. Her research focused on the ecology and management of insect pests of turf and ornamental plants. Her studies blend basic and applied components to improve the sustainability and profitability of urban plant production and landscape pest management. Research emphasizes two areas: Identifying and increasing the use of pest- resistant and adapted turf and ornamentals and- Integrating natural enemies and alternative control technologies into IPM through enhanced understanding of tritrophic interactions in urban plant systems. Research emphasized two areas: Identifying and increasing the use of pest- resistant and adapted turf and ornamentals and- Integrating natural enemies and alternative control technologies into IPM through enhanced understanding of tritrophic interactions in urban plant systems. Her work also addressed management of invasive and emerging plant pests. Most recently her research and teaching focus has centered around conservation of pollinators and other beneficial arthropods. This is reflected in her most recent publications and invited presentations including a TEDx Atlanta talk in May, 2023. Dr. Braman has produced, with her students, over 200 publications including 160-refereed journal articles and 16 book chapters. As Director of the Center for Urban Agriculture from 2011-2016, she provided leadership in delivery of science- based information to stakeholder groups. The Center mission includes urban county agent program planning and training, professional proficiency certification, World Wide Web educational programming and support, regional educational programming and related grant management. Dr. Braman has served as Entomology Department Head since June 2016.
