Kennedy is a medical entomology trainee within the Vector Biology Group at MLW. His research interest is in behaviour, ecology and control of disease vectors. Kennedy desires to see a malaria-free world by conducting research leading towards the development and application of novel tools which will contribute to the reduction of malaria and other vector borne diseases. Prior to starting his Research Assistant position on the Maladrone project, he was a pre-Masters intern at MLW working on assessing the efficiency of a novel mosquito trap, the host decoy trap (HDT), for sampling outdoor malaria vectors.
