Graduate Student

Matt’s research will explore the effects of human development

Kalina is interested in using bioacoustics to investigate the home ranges of endangered bat species.

Erin’s research will focus on oysters across Great Bay

Savannah is still narrowing down her exact research topic but is interested in combining computational modeling with longitudinal real-world field data to understand ecosystem dynamics and inform management decisions.

Phytoplankton are microscopic algae that form the foundation of marine food webs and play a critical role in global carbon cycling.

As a newly arriving graduate student, Nathan's research topic has yet to be chosen, though his interests revolve around the biology and genetics of aquaculture populations, namely oysters.

Sophie's research topic is yet to be chosen, she plans to research how anthropogenic effects will alter organism physiology, energy allocation, and ecological dynamics in rocky intertidal ecosystems.

Camille's research will focus on the response of microbial communities to environmental stressors and how microbes can provide insights nutrient cycling and marsh health.

Jessica's research investigates the use of enriched live feed to introduce zebrafish to soybean meal in early life stages.

Megan is using passive acoustic monitoring to explore the ways juvenile bats may echolocate differently than adults, and how those differences may impact acoustic energy used to observe changes in population size.

Jenn Wang, originally from Beijing, China, is pursuing her Ph.D. in biochemistry at the University of New Hampshire, set to graduate in 2027.

Ramesh Jayakumar graduated in 2024 with a degree in Biotechnology from PSG College of Arts & Science. He is currently pursuing a master’s in molecular and cellular biotechnology at UNH.
