Mentoring

Case Western Reserve University

During my PhD I have had the opportunity to work with amazing students. Learn a about their work with me and what they are up to now.

Rut Muzychuk (2021-2023)

Rut worked with me since day one. She was the first student I had the opportunity to mentor, so we were both learning together. Hard worker and enthusiastic, she got to present at a national conference and she is a co-author in all the butterfly physiology work. Rut graduated from CWRU in 2024 and is now enrolled in a Master’s program at CWRU.

Wei Chen (2024-2025)

Wei worked with me since the summer of 2024 as part of his capstone project. He is creative, hard worker and innovative. He was able to adapt plant software to conduct butterfly wing analysis. He is a senior at CWRU this year and is interested in starting graduate school in amphibian ecology research.

Ahalya Pandian (2024)

Ahalya is still in high school and is already conducting research at the university level. She has a lot of curiosity for science and is always excited to learn new things. She will be a senior at Solon High School this year and is in the process of applying for college.
