Dr. Lindgren and students conducting research at sea

ABOUT

Dr. Annie Lindgren has served as the Coordinator of CLEE since 2011, and Director since 2018. She serves as the Chair of the Steering Committee and oversees day-to-day operations of the center. A deep-sea biologist, Dr. Lindgren also teaches, mentors students and conducts independent research.

Research

Research in the Lindgren lab focuses on systematics and evolution of cephalopods (squids, octopuses and cuttlefish). We use molecular and morphological approaches to describe new species of deep sea squid, trace biogeographic patterns, and identify physiological mechanisms driving dispersal in the open ocean.

Outreach

Dr. Lindgren works extensively with CLEE faculty to increase informal STEM opportunities for the public via several avenues including PSU, and PDX Women in Science events, OMSI "Meet a Scientist" and Science Pubs, K-12 mentoring and field trips.
