Adam Greer received his PhD from the University of Miami in 2013 and is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Southern Mississippi Stennis Space Center. He is interested in the application of new sampling technologies, particularly imaging systems, to study fine-scale physical and biological processes that are important for larval fish feeding and survival. The ultimate goal of this kind of research is to determine the primary factors that influence fish population variability, enhancing our understanding of marine ecosystems. Adam also enjoys sports and living on the West Coast (of Mississippi).
Jessica Luo is a Ph.D candidate at the University of Miami, using imaging systems to study the ecology of gelatinous zooplankton, larval fish, and other plankton in the ocean. She is interested in processes that structure marine communities, both biological (vertical migrations), and physical (fronts and eddies). She is also doing research on the contribution of certain plankton groups to the global marine carbon cycle. Previously, she was in Northern California, working in marine education and outreach for the National Park Service after receiving her B.A. and M.S. in 2007 from Stanford University. In her spare time, Jessica enjoys running and thinking about data science and crowd-sourcing.
Ben Grassian is a former undergraduate researcher with the Cowen Lab at the University of Miami, Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science. While a student, he studied spatiotemporal and ecological dynamics of gelatinous zooplankton populations using ISIIS data. After completing his bachelors in 2013, he continued work with plankton (larval fish) while also taking a detour to study corals and coral reefs. He is starting a PhD at the University of Rhode Island’s Graduate School of Oceanography in 2015, studying zooplankton assemblages in oxygen minimum zones.
