Profiles in "Evolution" Expertise Area

  • Harrison is an environmental physiologist who studies how insects function, interact with their environment and evolve.
  • Pavlic (electrical eng., computer sci., & behavioral ecology) uses ecological thinking to enhance design of engineered complex adaptive systems and engineering tools to find new perspectives on biological form and function.
  • Dr. Nesse is a physician who has dedicated his career to establishing evolutionary biology as a basic science for medicine.
  • Till is an Anthropology PhD graduate whose research focuses on Human Migration Decision Making in relation to Environmental Perspectives and Change.
  • Wilson is a computational evolutionary biologist studying sex-biased processes including human and non-human health and disease.
  • Ebie studies ant reproductive regulation. She's interested in invertebrate communication, behavior, and sensory physiology. She also studies undergraduate persistence and TA development.
  • Maley is a biologist who specializes in cancer, evolution and computational biology. He works at the intersection of these fields.
  • Pigg is a paleobotanist who studies fossil plants that are related to modern groups of conifers, ferns and woody hardwood trees. Her group studies the origin of plants of the temperate deciduous biome.
  • Phil Hedrick is a population geneticist and conservation biologist who studies genetic variation in populations, including how genetics can impact the survival of rare and endangered species.
  • Martin Wojciechowski is an evolutionary biologist who studies plants, with an emphasis on the genomics, biogeography, ecology, and phylogenetics of legumes (family Leguminosae) and cacti (family Cactaceae).
