Graduate Students
Andrea Jaegge is a PhD student and ICaWR Doctoral Fellow at UL Lafayette with interest in studying the dynamics of Louisiana’s coastal phytoplankton communities and the related water quality issues in the ecosystem. She received her B.S. from the University of Alabama in 2013 and spent two years working on water quality issues at the Environmental Protection Agency in Washington, DC before joining the lab.
Gulce Kurtay is a PhD student in the lab. She completed her Bachelor’s degree in Biology from the Hacettepe University in Turkey. Then, she received her Master’s degree in Marine Science from the University of Basque Country. She is interested in the hurricane impacts on the phytoplankton dynamics and community composition in the Gulf of Mexico. Gulce also obtained a Master’s of Art degree from the Bilkent University in Biology Education by investigating the educational aspect of ocean biology.
Mrunmayee Pathare is a Masters student in the lab. Mrunmayee has a Bachelors degree in Zoology and a Masters degree in Environmental Science from Mumbai University. She has always been interested in the ocean, having grown up by the Arabian Sea. A summer internship at the National Institute of Oceanography at Goa inspired her to pursue a career in the marine environment. She is interested in studying the top down and bottom up processes affecting trophic diversity and trophic interactions of microplankton in coastal marine environments. When not being a graduate student Mrunmayee likes to read historical novels, conduct cooking experiments on loved ones, and go bird-watching and hiking.
Undergraduates
Hans Prevost is a senior biology major in the lab. His future involves continuing on to graduate school and pursue a PhD in biology. He hopes to teach at the collegiate level as well as conduct research in a subfield of biology. In his spare time, he coaches a swim team at the local aquatic center.
