Virginia is interested in the transport of plankton in rivers, lakes, and the ocean. She is currently working on how macrophytes (visible aquatic plants) create environments that are sheltered from currents.
Applied Mathematics PhD Candidate
Addie is interested in the fluid dynamics of the ejection of nematocysts and other extrusomes and more broadly in applications of data science. Her PhD work focuses on using the immersed boundary method to resolve the trajectory of an extrusome as it approaches a target.
Applied Mathematics PhD Candidate

Dunia is interested in the fluid dynamics of tubular hearts, including the vertebrate embryonic heart. She is also broadly interested in applications of data science and matching learning. Her PhD is focused on two-point dynamic suction pumping in tubular hearts.
Applied Mathematics PhD Candidate

Rebekah is interested in the fluid dynamics of jellyfish feeding. Her PhD work is focused on flow through the porous oral arms that capture plankton.
Student at the University of Arizona Honors College
