Graduate Students

  • Robin Fales (rjfales@uw.edu) is a doctoral student interested in the demographics and community dynamics of habitat forming marine primary producers. Her work focuses on the ecophysiological responses of kelps to environmental stressors, including marine heat waves.
  • Jack Litle (litlej@uw.edu) is a doctoral student interested in the effects of environmental stressors across life history stages of marine invertebrates.
  • Kindall Murie (kmurie@uw.edu) is a doctoral student interested in the ecological consequences of water chemistry alterations by bull kelp and other habitat forming primary producers.
  • Grace Leuchtenberger (sgleuch@uw.edu) is a doctoral student interested in the ecophysiology and biomechanics of marine invertebrates, especially bivalve mussels.
