Who we are

Postdoctoral Scholar

Rebeca is interested in evolution, especially in how flowering plants diversify in number and form at macro- and microevolutionary scales

Undergraduate Researcher (she/her)

Danielle is interested in evolutionary biology and genetics. She is currently studying as a biology major on the Pre-med track with a feminist studies minor and is looking to take her career in a more research focused pathway.

Undergraduate Researcher (she/her)

Alana is interested in genetics and genetic variation between different organisms. She is a biochemistry major, with an emphasis on premed, and is currently working towards a minor in computer science.

Undergraduate Researcher

My interest in studying life processes in molecular terms drives me to pursue a Biochemistry major. My main interests are how the body works and how humans evolved from primitive species to dominant creatures of the planet. I also enjoy observing local flowering plants, collecting, and dissecting flower specimens.

Undergraduate Researcher

Alondra is interested in genetics and molecular biology. She is currently studying as a Biology major on the Pre-med route and is looking forward to continue learning more about the field of research.

Undergraduate Researcher

Kenny is interested in how the biology of life adjusts to acclimate various localities in plants. As a Bio-chemistry major on the pre-med track, he wants to take his experiences to develop new interests in evolutionary Biology. He also enjoys watching his mom plant new vegetables.

PhD Student

Rajesh is interested in understanding gene-environment interaction (G X E) and its application in climate-resilient agriculture.
