Samantha Hormiga

Ph.D. Student

Samantha is joining the lab after completing an MS degree in Biology focused on periphyton contributions and diatom indicators of coastal carbon flux at Florida International University.

Hunter Heyden

MS Student

Hunter joined the lab after completing a BS degree in Environment and Sustainability at Cornell University. Hunter will be using his prior research experience studying carbon cycling in small ponds to begin a study at the Olentangy River Wetland Research Park focused on food webs and greenhouse gas emissions.

Mousumi Das

Ph.D. Student

Mousumi is an Ohio State University Distinguished Fellow and will begin work to study linkages between toxic algae and aquatic food web structure to evaluate the consequences of harmful algal blooms on ecosystem carbon cycling.

Maddie is conducting research to study wetland carbon cycling at the Olentangy River Wetland Research Park, which is a Ramsar Wetland of International Importance located on the campus of Ohio State University.

Jenna Malloy

Undergraduate Student Researcher

Jenna is identifying macroinvertebrates as part of a study to better understand food-web dynamics at the Olentangy River Wetland Research Park.

Sophia Kinsler

Undergraduate Student Researcher

Sophia is working as part of a collaborative team to collect water quality parameters as part of the Olentangy River Wetland project.  

Ethan Staffiera
