PhD Students

Wise Goodluck Datsomor

Wise is a dedicated first-year PhD student specializing in environmental science with a focus on aquatic ecosystems and pollution. His research is centered on the pressing issue of microplastic contamination, exploring its effects on fish species, public awareness, and policy. With a background in marine sciences and a passion for sustainability, Wise's project involves a comparative study between Ghana and Hawaii to assess the extent of microplastic pollution and its societal impacts

Kervelle Baird

Kervelle is a PhD student in Earth, Environment, and Society focusing on microplastics in water systems. She received her BSc. Environmental Science and BSc. Geoscience from the University of Connecticut in 2019. She received her MSc. in Environmental Hazards and Risks Management from the Université Côte D’Azur. She gained experience in chemicals and waste management as an Associate Professional with the Basel Convention Regional Center for the Caribbean. She interned with the United Nations Environment Programme Latin America and Caribbean Office and the United Nations Environment Management Group. Kervelle enjoys learning languages and sports.

Allie Tissot

Allie is a PhD student focusing on the effects of multiple stressors on aquatic invertebrates. She received her B.S. in Environmental Science with an emphasis in Marine Ecology at Western Washington University and has since assisted and worked on various projects, including fish behavior research in mesophotic reefs on the Big Island of Hawai’i, mesocosm experiments in Northern California focusing on the effects of ocean acidification on rockfish and cabezon species, and multiple projects during her time as a lab technician in central Chile, ranging from non-lethal predator/prey effects to the effects of hypoxia on maternal investment in kelp crabs. Her research interests at PSU are currently focused on the effects of environmentally relevant concentrations of pesticides on the soft shell clam with future efforts aimed at exploring multiple stressor interactions with marine invertebrates in the presence of additional anthropogenic contaminants such as microplastics.
