Interested in studying aquatic systems?
I am always looking for hard-working and self-motivated graduate and undergraduate students to join our group. I encourage individual thinking, so it is not critical that we share identical research interests. But, it is important that you are fascinated by science and want to explore how the natural world works. Please email me your resume, transcripts, GRE scores (if applicable), and research interests, and we will try to find a spot for you in the lab.
