My research focuses on development of integrated management strategies for insect pest control. Although citrus is the focal commodity for my current research program, I extensively collaborate with colleagues on research projects involving insect pests of temperate tree fruit, small fruit (both temperate and tropical), as well as in other agricultural commodities such as ornamental plants and vegetables. My research interests include both principles-level fundamental questions as well as practical applied questions geared toward providing solutions to major problems facing a diversity of agricultural commodities. My philosophy is to meld basic and applied research as a single pursuit. My approach is to conduct research on the behavior and ecology of insects and subsequently develop biorational management solutions. Current ongoing projects include: 1) development of behavior modifying chemicals, including attractants and repellents, for pest control with a focus on but not exclusive to citrus pests, 2) toxicological investigations of insect growth regulators, 3) quantitative measurement of pest movement patterns and dispersal behavior in relation to management practices, 4) identification of herbivore induced volatile emissions from plant roots that recruit entomopathogenic nematodes, 5) development and optimization of mating disruption technologies for moth pests, 6) enhancement of biological control by identification and development of recruitment pheromones and kairomones for natural enemies, 7) pesticide resistance management, 8) development of antifeedants to prevent plant pathogen transmission by insect vectors, 9) pheromone-mediated multitrophic parasitoid-prey interactions, 10) insect sensory physiology as it relates to pheromone and kairomone perception, and 11) optimization of pesticide spray technologies.

I have been a honey bee researcher for over 33 years. I earned my MSc in Entomology from the University of Ahvaz, Iran (1993), and my PhD in Entomology from the University of Manitoba, Canada (2015). In my previous roles as an Apiculture Research Scientist with the Animal Science Research Institute of Iran and Alberta Agriculture and Forestry in Canada, I conducted extensive research on honey bee biology, parasite and pathogen control, integrated pest management (IPM), and Varroacides.
Alongside my research, I have taught both graduate and undergraduate students and engaged in extension activities aimed at helping beekeepers adopt innovative and sustainable IPM strategies to manage pests and diseases. My recent projects have focused on developing new miticides and antibiotics to address challenges associated with honey bee parasites and pathogens. Currently, at the University of Alberta, my research continues to explore the development of novel miticides and antibiotics for the control of Varroa destructor mites and Nosema disease.

استاد، محقق و مدرس گران مایه، هایک میرزایانس، در 1299ش در قزوین دیده به جهان گشود. پس از پایان تحصیلات ابتدایی و متوسطه در این شهرستان، به دانشکدۀ کشاورزی دانشگاه تهران راه یافت و در 1324ش، پس از اتمام تحصیلات دانشگاهی به استخدام وزارت کشاورزی درآمد
میرزایانس با بهره گیری از تجربیات علمی سه استاد روس ـ پروفسور الکساندروف، چواخین و کریوخینـ نخستین مرکز تحقیقات حشره شناسی را در ایران پایه گذاری کرد.
زنده یاد میرزایانس از همان روزهای نخست با جدیت و پشتکاری کم نظیر و قابل ستایش و تحمل رنج سفر های طولانی به اقصا نقاط کشور، آن هم با امکانات مالی کم و مشکلات ارتباطی آن زمان، اقدام به جمع آوری و بررسی حشرات مختلف کرد. او با گردآوری اولین نمونه ها مجموعۀ عظیمی از حشرات مختلف را گردآوری کرد که امروزه تعداد آن از چهار میلیون نمونه فراتر رفته است.
آشنایی ایشان با چندین زبان خارجی از جمله روسی، فرانسه و انگلیسی سبب شد که با همکاری و ارتباط با موزه های معروف حشره شناسی جهان و همچنین، حشره شناسان مشهور موزه ای غنی و کتابخانه ای ارزشمند از خود به یادگار گذارد.
هایک میرزایانس از اعضای فعال و پرتلاش و تأثیرگذار انجمن حشره شناسی ایران و از پایه گذاران آن در 1344ش بود. با تأسیس این انجمن بزرگ ترین آرزوی علاقه مندان و متخصصان حشره شناسی به واقعیت پیوست. مهندس میرزایانس نزدیک به دو دهه در هیئت رئیسه و در سمت دبیری نشریۀ انجمن حشره شناسان ایران، با نام نامۀ انجمن، حضوری سازنده داشت.
