Felipe S. Barreto, PhD (Principal Investigator)

Associate Professor

 

I am broadly interested in evolutionary genetics of natural populations, with specific research topics including the genetics of hybrid incompatibilities, speciation, and physiological adaptations, as well as the evolution of mating systems and sexual selection.

Kamron Kayhani

PhD candidate, NSF Graduate Research Fellow

I am interested in investigating the potential of organisms to adapt to the changing global climate, as well as the genetic components that underlie an organism's ecology.

PhD student, NSF Graduate Research Fellow

I am interested in studying patterns of phenotypic and genetic change in populations of marine organisms in response to environmental stressors driven by climate change, specifically ocean deoxygenation and hypoxia. Furthermore, I'm also keen to investigate how the impacts of climate change in marine systems can be mitigated by legislature at coastal county and state levels.

PhD student

 

I am interested in marine evolutionary genetics with a focus on how abiotic stressors affect natural marine populations at the genetic level over time.

Matt Powers, PhD

Postdoctoral Scholar

 

I am interested in exploring evolutionary questions relating to physiological responses to stress, condition-dependent phenotypes, and life history traits. I enjoy testing theory on the evolution of complex traits resulting from both natural and sexual selection, regardless of the model system. A common thread across my research is the use of biostatistics and data visualization in R.
