Postdoctoral Associates & Research Faculty
Shweta Basnett, Fulbright Postdoctoral Fellow, Espíndola Lab
Research: My research aims to understand the effect of changes in the biotic and abiotic environment on the evolutionary history of mountain endemic plant-pollinator interactions, and estimate their survival/evolution under future climatic scenarios. PLS 3151| shwetab@umd.edu |
Katherine Bell, Postdoctoral Associate, Fritz Lab
Research: Evolutionary ecology, specifically understanding the evolution of biological novelty and the genetic architecture of adaptive traits and reproductive isolation. kbell127@umd.edu |
Patricia Graham, Assistant Research Scientist, Pick Lab
PLS 3188 | 301-405-2862 | pgraham1@umd.edu |
Ximena Gutierrez Ramos, Postdoctoral Associate, Pick Lab
Research: My research aims to understand the role of cis-regulatory elements in the transcriptional regulation in segmentation genes and the evolutionary trajectories of these mechanisms. PLS3188 |301-405-2862 | ximenagr@umd.edu |
Nicolas Medina, Postdoctoral Associate, Espíndola Lab
Research: My research addresses the drivers and origins of plant diversity across macro- and micro-evolutionary scales. I use fieldwork, genomic tools, phylogenetics, phylogeography, and comparative methods to study the evolution of angiosperms. nicomed@umd.edu |
