| I received my B.S. in Marine Science from Southampton College (Long Island University) where I examined the impacts of anthropogenically-influenced groundwater on water quality and phytoplankton dynamics. Currently I'm a PhD student at Old Dominion University working with Dr. Mulholland. I'm interested in phytoplankton ecology, specifically harmful algal blooms (HABs). I'm working with Aureococcus anophagefferens, the organism responsible for brown tides. I'm looking at the interannual differences in nutrient dynamics during a brown tide bloom by examining both carbon and nitrogen uptake rates. I'm also using flow cytometry to look at how A. anophagefferens and heterotrophic bacteria are interacting. |
