Postdoctoral Associates & Research Faculty
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 | [email protected] |
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. [email protected] |

Thiago Rutz, Postdoctoral Associate, Hamby Lab
PLS3128| [email protected] Research Interests: my research centers on optimizing Helicoverpa zea (corn earworm) pest management strategies and evaluating alternative control methods. My broader interests include integrated pest management (IPM), sustainable pest control approaches, and leveraging advanced statistical modeling to enhance agricultural practices. |
Morgan Thompson (she/her), Postdoctoral Associate, Burghardt Lab
PLS4120 | [email protected] Research: My research integrates chemical, molecular, and community ecology to investigate plant-insect interactions. Specifically, I study the chemical mechanisms and ecological consequences of plant defense against aboveground or belowground insect herbivory. |
