Graduate Students
Danial Asgari, PhD (2018-2023)
Danial studied immune gene expression and evolution. He continued on to a postdoctoral position with Ann Tate at Vanderbilt University.
Carolynn Porter (2020-2023)
Carolynn studied recombination in house fly.
Kiran Adhikari, PhD (2016-2021)
Kiran studied thermal phenotypes, gene expression, and microbiomes in house flies with different sex chromosome genotypes. He continued on to a postdoctoral position with Brian Lazzaro at Cornell University, and he is currently
Zhao Zheng (2020-2021)
Zhao studied population genomics of Drosophila pseudoobscura. She continued on to a PhD program at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston.
Jae Hak Son, PhD (2014-2019)
Jae used functional genomics to study how the house fly sex determination pathway and sex chromosomes affect gene expression. He continued on to a postdoctoral position with Serap Aksoy at the Yale School of Public Health.
Bukola Oguntuase (2016)
Bukola visited our lab from the University of Technology in Akure, Nigeria. She used molecular markers to study the population structure of the flat-headed cusimanse
