Izzy is a PhD student in the Girguis Lab at Harvard University. She received both her B.A. in Biology and her M.S. in Bioinformatics and Systems Biology from New York University. Her research focuses on the creative ways that microbes mediate the chemistry of their environment in order to interfere with surrounding oxygen levels. She … Continued
Dr. Kristen Fauria is a postdoctoral scholar at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Kristen studies the physics of geological flows that contain multiple phases: for example density currents that contain both gases and particles. At WHOI Kristen is using observations, experiments, and theory to understand how volcanic eruption columns and plumes spread material in the … Continued
Daniel Hoer is a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University where his research centers on the biogeochemistry of seafloor hydrothermal vent and cold seep systems. He’s particularly interested in how mega- and micro-faunal communities modulate dissolved chemical flux. His work involves a focus on the development of new methods and technologies to facilitate addressing intractable questions. … Continued
