Current Research and Scholarly InterestsIn the course of evolution,two of the strongest selective forces in nature,light and sex, have left their mark on living organisms. I am interested in how the development and function of the nervous system reflects these events. We use the reproductive system to understand how social behavior influences the main system of reproductive action controlled by a collection of cells in the brain containing gonodotropin releasing hormone(GnRH)

Current Research and Scholarly InterestsResearch
My field is climate-change science, and my research emphasizes human-ecological interactions across many disciplines. Most studies include aspects of ecology, but also aspects of law, sociology, medicine, or engineering. -

Humanities and Sciences Professor, Professor of Applied Physics and, by courtesy, of Materials Science and Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur research focuses on the study of quantum materials with unconventional magnetic & electronic ground states & phase transitions. Emphasis on design and discovery of new materials. Recent focus on use of strain as a probe of, and tuning parameter for, a variety of electronic states. Interests include unconventional superconductivity, quantum phase transitions, nematicity, multipolar order, instabilities of low-dimensional materials and quantum magnetism.

Ph.D. Student in Physics, admitted Autumn 2019
BioI am a Physics PhD Candidate performing research in X-ray Astrophysics within KIPAC and the XOC group. My primary interests surround the evolutionary history of galaxy clusters traced by X-ray observations of the Intracluster Medium. I measure the dynamical, thermodynamical, and chemical properties of clusters as a function of spatial scale and redshift to test models of self-similar evolution and chemical enrichment in the presence of feedback from sources such as AGN.
