Christopher Anderson
Ph.D. Student in Biology, admitted Autumn 2016
BioMy research focuses on the use of satellite remote sensing technology to characterize multi-scale patterns of terrestrial biodiversity. I am interested in understanding how ecosystem structure and function changes for multiple taxonomic groups as a result of anthropogenic forces. These forces include land use change, climate change, establishing protected areas, the development of novel ecosystems, and assisted migration.

Patricio Arrangoiz Arriola
Ph.D. Student in Applied Physics, admitted Autumn 2014
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am interested in developing tools and frameworks for engineering and understanding hybrid quantum systems. In particular, I am interested in novel on-chip platforms with applications in quantum information processing, quantum communication, and fundamental research. I work on the design, fabrication, and characterization of nanoscale devices that integrate, on a single chip, superconducting microwave circuits, nanomechanical resonators, and photonic crystals.

Laura Bogar
Ph.D. Student in Biology, admitted Autumn 2013
BioMy PhD work is focused on symbiotic interactions between land plants and soil fungi. Specifically, I am interested in the ectomycorrhizal symbiosis, an obligate, intimate mutualism between dominant woody plants in the temperate zones (Pinacea, Fagaceae, Salicaceae, etc.) and soil fungi in the Asco- and Basidiomycota. This relationship, in which plants trade fixed carbon (sugars) to the fungi in exchange for soil resources like nitrogen, has arisen dozens of times independently in the fungal lineages. I am interested in how this interaction functions on a physiological and genetic level, particularly with respect to compatibility between diverse plants and fungi, and how variation in symbiotic function across fungal lineages and environmental conditions contributes to the stability of the interaction over evolutionary time.

Danielle Boles
Ph.D. Student in Psychology, admitted Autumn 2017
BioDanielle received her BA in Psychology and Environmental Studies from the University of California at Santa Cruz. Her research focuses on improving mindsets about diet and health, enhancing the experience of healthy eating, and measuring the power of such mindsets and experiences to influence behavior and physiology.
