Michelle María Early Capistrán
Postdoctoral Scholar, Biology
BioMichelle María Early Capistrán is a David H. Smith Conservation Fellow at the Crowder Lab. Her transdisciplinary research focuses on working collaboratively with coastal communities to improve conservation practice by integrating Local Ecological Knowledge and marine ecology. She was originally trained as a Cultural Anthropologist and holds an M.S. and PhD in Marine Science and Limnology (Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, UNAM). For over a decade, she has collaborated with rural fishing communities in the Baja California peninsula to understand long-term changes in the abundance of endangered and culturally important green turtles (Chelonia mydas). She will work with Prof. Crowder, in collaboration with Jeff Seminoff of the NOAA Southwest Fisheries Science Center, to develop species distribution model for green turtles under climate change by integrating Local Ecological Knowledge and Citizen/Community Science.

Andrew Eberhardt
Ph.D. Student in Physics, admitted Summer 2017
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research centers on developing numerical methods to understand problems in the intersection between astrophysics, cosmology, and quantum mechanics. Currently simulations of dark matter structure on cosmological and astrophysical scales provide competitive bounds on the dark matter mass at the lowest end. I develop methods to approximate quantum field corrections to classical field simulations of scalar field dark matter.

Alejandra Echeverri Ochoa
Postdoctoral Scholar, Biology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am an interdisciplinary conservation scientist interested in studying the social and ecological dimensions of biodiversity conservation in Latin America. I study questions related to the cultural value of biodiversity, the human footprint on ecological communities, and the policy interventions that can be done to support biodiversity conservation across Latin American ecosystems
