Postodoctral Research

Indiana University

Michael Wade is my current postdoctoral advisor and an evolutionary geneticist. I am currently working on developing theory to understand the evolution of transmission modes in coevolutionary interactions.

Graduate Research

Washington State University

Mark Dybdahl was one of my graduate advisors and an evolutionary ecologist. I conducted my emperical research on Potamopyrgus antipodarum with Dr. Dybdahl. He also contributed significatly to my theoretical projects. (see more)

Richard Gomulkiewicz was one of my graduate advisors and a theoretical population geneticist. Dr. Gomulkiewicz mentored me on he theoretical portion of my thesis. (see more)

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

Boston University

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

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. (see more)

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

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 while at Indiana University. (see more)

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.
