Christopher Hann-Soden

What steers the evolution of fungi, and how do evolving fungi affect our environment? Christopher is tackling questions in evolutionary biology using the latest genomic tools to understand how our world is shaped by fungi. The flow of genes between or within a species...

Matthew Luskin

Matthew’s research uses empirical field studies in Indonesia to understand how rapid oil palm expansion in Southeast Asia threatens tropical rainforest wildlife communities. He takes a ecosystem-approach to understanding how predators, prey, trees, and people are...

Daniel Portik

Dan’s research will test a series of hypotheses regarding the processes generating high species richness in the African tropics. How species-rich taxonomic assemblages are generated and maintained, especially in the tropics, is a subject of great interest to...
Andrew Rominger 

Andrew Rominger 

Andy studies large scale patterns in the richness, relatedness and abundance of species to understand how evolutionary history shapes contemporary biodiversity and how biodiversity might change with mounting anthropogenic pressures.  There is a persistent scientific...
Micah Ziegler

Micah Ziegler

Micah studies inorganic chemistry with a focus on developing energy and environmentally-relevant catalysis.  He synthesizes transition metal complexes that aim to enable earth-abundant, inexpensive, and relatively safe first-row transition metals to activate small...
