Joe Louis is researching sorghum genetics to develop sorghum that can fend off sugar cane aphids which are attacking sorghum crops in the south and as far north as Kansas. Louis has been named the Eberhard Professor of Agricultural Entomology in recognition of his innovative research on plant resistance to insect pests as well as for his instructional outreach, including to underrepresented student populations.
