Jennifer Seavey, Postdoctoral Associate.

Jennifer received her Ph.D. from the University of Massuchusetts. She is spear-heading work regarding climate change, sea-level rise, and biodiversity. Jennifer is co-advised by Bill Pine.

Miguel Acevedo, Ph.D. Student.

Miguel got his B.S. and M.S. degrees from the University of Puerto Rico. His dissertation focuses on the use of network analysis in spatial ecology and conservation. Miguel is participating in a NSF IGERT (Click here for more) and is co-advised by Cole Smith in Industrial & Systems Engineering.

Rajeev Pillay, Ph.D. student.

Rajeev received his B.S. and M.S. degrees from the University of Calcutta, India. For his dissertation, Rajeev is developing ways to integrate connectivity into issues of climate change through various modeling approaches. Rajeev is co-advised by Frank Mazotti.

Irina Skinner, M.S. student.

Irina is working on predation risk and predator management issues, including a field experiment that assesses how prey communities alter their behavior and distribution in response to heightened predation risk.

Divya Vasudev, Ph.D. student.

Divya is interested in social behavior, dispersal, and habitat fragmentation, particularly in how primates respond to forest fragmentation. Her dissertation will address the landscape consequences of mating systems using molecular tools.

Kira Taylor-Hoar, undergraduate student.

Kira is working on a project as part of the University Scholar's Program. Kira is conducting field work on how prey discriminate predator information. She is a WEC major.

Kim Jones, undergraduate student.

Kim is majoring in Wildlife Ecology and Conservation. She is working on a project a project as part of the University Scholar's Program that includes developing a decision support tool for sustainable biofuels production.
