Ph.D. Students
Anna Becker (2017-)
Email: Becker.a[at]ufl.edu
Anna is working on the evolution and phylogeography of Hawaiian Vaccinium lineages (Ericaceae). She has also been involved in the Phyloreferencing project
Shelby Krupar (2019-)
skrupar[at]ufl.edu
Shelby works on the genomics and spatial genetic structure of Guzmania monostachia (Bromeliaceae), with a focus on Florida populations.
Malu Ore Rengifo (2021-)
m.orerengifo[at]ufl.edu
Malu is co-advised with Dr. Lucas Majure. She is investigating the phylogenomics of Chaetogastra (Melastomataceae) and phylogeography of Chaetogastra longifolia.
She is part of our NSF-funded Melastomataceae phylogenomics project.
Emeline Pano (2022-)
e.pano[at]ufl.edu
Emeline is very interested in the flora in Baja California and her research focuses on the evolution of Fouquieria (Fouquieriaceae/Ericales) with an emphasis on the origin of polyploidy, genetic diversity, and phylogeography.
