OverviewAI-generated summary

Austin Goldsmith's research focuses on the control of *Amblyomma americanum*, commonly known as the lone star tick. His work investigates the potential of fungal biocontrol agents, specifically strains of *Metarhizium guizhouense* and *Metarhizium robertsii*, which were isolated from soil-exposed ticks in Northwest Arkansas. Goldsmith's recent publications detail the isolation of these fungal strains and present laboratory bioassays assessing the efficacy of a native Arkansas isolate of *Metarhizium robertsii* for tick control. He has collaborated with researchers at the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station and the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Allen L. Szalanski, Kelly Loftin, Donald C. Steinkraus, and Dylan Cleary. Goldsmith's scholarly output to date includes three publications with a total of three citations and an h-index of 1.
