Graduate Fellows

Jordan’s graduate research focuses on investigating the nearby Interstellar Medium, which comprises all of the gas and dust between stellar systems in our galaxy

Meredith’s current research is focused on understanding the impacts of climate change and environmental factors on aquatic communities that occupy high alpine lakes.

Andrew is a PhD student in geology at UW whose research focuses on better understanding phase separation and the ages of waters in individual hydrothermal features in Yellowstone National Park.

William is pursuing his PhD in ecology. His current research involves collaborating with state, federal, and non-governmental partners to perform a genetic assessment of Yellowstone cutthroat trout across their range in Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho.

Theodora is pursuing her PhD in astronomy. She uses a technique called reverberation mapping to measure the masses of active galactic nuclei, which are types of supermassive black holes.

Evan is an astrophysics graduate student at the University of Wyoming using spectroscopy to study the evolution of binary star systems.

Kaitlyn is a dedicated researcher with a passion for ecology and mathematics. Her research explores the temporal variability in population abundances, a phenomenon found in many natural systems that significantly influences key ecological processes.

My research aims to understand black bear behavior, specifically by assessing their space use and habitat selection. We collared bears across four different study areas in Wyoming, which will help us evaluate how black bears select resources across the state.

John is interested in the interplay of biology, chemistry, and physics and how that can guide new discoveries. Specifically, John works in the field of desiccation tolerance. This field explores how some organisms can survive despite losing nearly all their water.

Sarah studies queen bumble bee overwintering physiology. She is currently exploring how and where a queen bumble bee overwinters influences her survival and energy usage while overwintering, and/or her fitness post-winter.
