Liz completed her Ph.D. at La Rochelle University in France in 2024, where she investigated the trophic strategies of deep-pelagic fishes in the Bay of Biscay in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean, combining stable isotope analyses and trait-based ecological approaches. Liz then joined the Choy Lab in 2025 as a post-doctoral researcher to study the role … Continued
Lee is a postdoctoral researcher at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute. Their research focuses on the interactions between animals and microbes in the deep ocean, especially in the context of gut microbiomes.
I am a PhD candidate from the University of Cape Town, specialising in ocean biogrochemistry, with a focus on the complex dynamics of marine dissolved oxygen. My work is driven by a deep curiosity about the ocean’s role in regulating the global climate system. My primary research interest lies in understanding the interplay between chemical … Continued
Elan is interested in the composition and distribution of pelagic forage communities and the ways that predators partition resources. In the Choy Lab, Elan uses stomach content analyses, midwater trawl samples, and statistical methods to address fundamental pelagic ecology questions. He received a Ph.D. in Biology from Stanford University in 2019 and was an NRC … Continued
