Current Lab Members

As a polar oceanographer, Anvita explored the phytoplankton productivity and its potential controls in the Southern Ocean and the Antarctic coast. She has also worked with applying underwater imaging techniques to characterize plankton populations. Anvita is studying how one widespread zooplankton group, appendicularians, feeds on the ocean's smallest cells, the marine bacteria.

Camille is a research adjunct addressing how gelatinous animals and protists feed on marine microbes as prey. 

Erik's research focuses on questions of picocyanobacterial morphology and interactions. He uses a range of techniques including classic microbiology and flow cytometry to understand the durability of physical interactions between cells. 

Darian's work is addressing the feeding selectivity of choanoflagellates on marine picocyanobacteria. 

Kelly is joining the lab to apply her expertise in microbial morphology to picocyanobacterial ecology and evolution.
