Graduate Research

Washington State University

Mark Dybdahl is one of my advisors and an evolutionary ecologist. I am working on the emperical portion of my thesis with Dr. Dybdahl.

Richard Gomulkiewicz is one of my advisors and a theoretical population geneticist. I am working on the theoretical portion of my thesis with Dr. Gomulkiewicz.

Michael Alfaro is on my committe and a molecular/theoretical phylogeneticist. I worked on various molecular sequencing projects of Wrasses (Halichores) as well as Tetradontiformes. (now at UCLA)

Boston University

Paul Barber was one of my supervisors while I was a research technician. I worked on several population genetic studies of reef fish. (now at UCLA)

Phillip Lobel was one of my supervisors while I was a research techician. I worked on a molecular study of parentage and mating system of a damsel fish (Abudefduf sordidus).

University of Utah

Dale Clayton was my advisor while I was at the University of Utah. I worked on the host specificity of feather feeding lice on North American Dove hosts.

Kevin Johnson was a post-doc in Dr. Clayton's lab. We worked on several theoretical cophylogetics and molecular ecology projects. (now at University of Illinois)

Undergraduate Research and Advising

Grinnell College

Johnathan (Jackie) Brown was my research advisor while I was at Grinnell College. I did a molecular systematics project on a family of Cynipid Gall wasps (the same ones that Kinsey worked on).

Leslie Gregg-Jolly was my academic advisor at Grinnell College.

University of Pittsburgh

Susan Kalisz was my supervisor while I was a technician. I worked on various field and greenhouse studies of plant mating system genetics.
