Graduate students
Jonathan Maycol Branco
I am a PhD student in Integrative Biology at Oklahoma State University. My background is in animal ecology, data science, one health and science outreach. I am particularly interested in the effects on wildlife's ecology and physiology caused by environmental factors such as landscape configuration, climate change, and contaminants.
Simran Baruwal
Simran is a PhD student at the EMORPH2 lab. She is interested in investigating drivers of diversification at macroevolutionary scales.
Andrew Hughes
I am a Master’s student in Integrative Biology at Oklahoma State University. I am interested in mammalogy, morphology, anthropogenic effects on fauna, and biogeography. I have a background in mammalogy and collections.
Kayleen Sugianto
I’m a zoology major here at OSU with a drive to show the world how incredible wildlife is! I joined the research world the summer of my sophomore year of college, working on cricket and frog projects. Now, as I begin my adventure into graduate school, I am to study the painted lady butterflies and what effects climate change has on them. Besides the busy life of a researcher and student, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, and have a passion for baking!
Shradha Suman Yadav
I am a PhD student in EMORPH2 lab, with the background in environmental science, wildlife conservation, and comparative biomechanics. My research interest centers on evolutionary morphology, with a focus on understanding how morphological traits evolve in relation to ecological and functional pressures.
