Education:
BS, Biology, University
of California, Los Angeles, 2002
PhD, Biological Oceanography, Scripps
Institution of Oceanography, 2011
Research Interests:
I study marine zooplankton with a focus on copepod crustaceans.
With the Johnsen Lab, I am researching the light environment
of the upper, sunlit ocean layers and the visual capabilities
of copepods that inhabit this zone.
