Prospective Students Undergraduate/graduate students interested in my research can contact me by email or simply stop by my lab (Holt 109) to discuss research opportunities. Currently we are working on a number of projects ranging from paleontology and insect systematics to conservation genetics. Undergraduate students can work/assist with a number of projects including: insect faunistics in Tennessee and Georgia photographing insects scanning electron microscopy (SEM) work with insects DNA extraction / PCR databasing the insect collection phylogenetic analyses taxonomic descriptions of both extinct and extant species insect collecting/preparation/labeling Current Students Hillary Allen Sean O'Malley Hope Treider Angie Tsay Lab Alumni Undergraduate Students Emalie Bent: databasing the insect collection, insect curation.
