Alumni
Grant defended in 2026 and accepted a tenure-track teaching professorship at Texas Wesleyan University.
Cleber has a MSc in ecology and evolution and is interested in macroecology, biogeography and community ecology.
Hilde is an undergraduate researcher majoring in environmental science. She is interested in insect ecology, movement, and life history variation, and plans to do a PhD in entomology.
Nabeeha is an undergraduate public health major on the pre-med track. She is interested in infectious diseases and how pathogens affect ecosystems and their way of life.
Cayden is an undergraduate in computer science with a minor in video game design. He loves game design and software engineering and is interested in making games out of subject matter like evolution and genetics.
Anthony is an undergraduate biological sciences major on the pre-med track. He is interested in studying host-parasite relationships, mechanisms of infection, and how these relationships affect ecosystems.
Aaron is an undergraduate biological sciences major who is interested in the infectious dose and transmission of fungal pathogens.
Anandita is an undergraduate pre-med student interested in host parasite interactions and their ecological patterns on a large scale.
Sarah is an undergraduate public health major who is interested in infectious diseases and their effects on populations.
Bailey is an undergraduate biological sciences major with a minor in chemistry who is interested in infectious diseases and their effects on populations.
Sayi is an undergraduate pre-med student majoring in biological sciences interested in yeast community assembly and dynamics.
Robbie has a PhD in Ecology and is a population/community ecologist interested in parasite-host interactions.
Daniel has a MS in Physiology and Biophysics and is interested in how vaccination strategies affect epidemic spread in social contact networks.
Jae has a background in applied mathematics, and recently graduated with an MSc in mathematical sciences. Jae's current research interests focus on using networks to analyze and control the spread of epidemics in populations.
Tivon is an undergraduate pre-med student who did his honors thesis in the Dallas lab. His current research focuses on the spatial and ecological relationships of pathogen outbreak events.
