His main interests in research were the morphology and behavior of social wasps and ants. Most of his work on social wasps was on species within the subfamily Polistinae. Through the years, he published numerous papers on the morphology of the venom apparatus and behavior of defensive behavior.

Dr. Hermann is currently teaching biology in the Department of Mathematics and Science at Edison State College. He is a Regional Leader (SW Florida) for the Florida Writers Association and published author of a number of books in the categories of fiction and non-fiction
