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. 

Nick's research focuses on questions of picocyanobacterial and picophytoplankton diversity using an integrated approach of molecular methods, flow cytometry, and imaging flow cytometry. 

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

Gazal is examining shifts in marine microbial communities in response to marine heatwaves.
