Staci Lewis
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Biology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsStaci is interested in the impacts of land-use change on coral reef ecosystem services, and the transformation of governance regimes towards adaptive management of marine and coastal resources. Her work is based in the Republic of Palau, an island nation in Micronesia, where she is studying the emergence of watershed management and the sedimentation impacts on coral reefs in two watershed systems that have experienced modern increase in land development.

Chuan Li
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Biology
BioChuan Li is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Dmitri Lab (2017-now). Her research interests include epistasis and speciation. She received her Ph.D. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology with a dual degree in Statistics from the University of Michigan in 2017. During her Ph.D. at Dr. Jianzhi Zhang’s lab, she worked in quantifying intergenic and intragenic epistasis at a large scale with both experimental and computational approaches using yeast as the model system. She published a highly influential paper on the empirical determination of the fitness landscape of the tRNA gene. In the Petrov lab, she studies the interaction between protein interfaces and antagonistic pleiotropy. She uses a high throughput Bar-seq methodology to systematically quantify intergenic epistasis between two interacting partners, GAL3 and GAL80, in a well-studied gene regulatory pathway metabolizing galactose in yeast, which will allow estimation of the ruggedness of fitness landscape and provide ample and in-depth information on these interaction interfaces.

Hsiao-Wen Liao
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Psychology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsHsiao-Wen investigates ways that individuals maintain self-continuity and foster personal growth as they age, particularly in the face of life transitions and difficulties. Her research aims to better understand the sociocultural, cognitive, and affective mechanisms that underlie positive adult development. This work lays a foundation for evidence-based interventions that promote aging well. She considers that integrating one’s past, present, and future self is fundamental to the continuity and growth necessary for adult well-being. Her work thus focuses on mental time travel: thinking about one’s personal past and future. She pursues three lines of research: (1) autobiographical memory as a resource for continued self-development, (2) future time perspective in relation to goal pursuit, and (3) sociocultural contexts that shape the self.
