Dr Daniel Carvalho
Dr Daniel Carvalho Daniel Carvalho conducted a 6 month research component in our lab as part of his PhD project on conservation genetics of Neotropical fishes. His PhD was awarded by Universidade de Minas Gerais, in Brazil. In 2011 he returned to the lab for a 1 year postdoc, also on conservation genetics of fishes. […]
Dr Georgina Cooke
Dr Georgina Cooke PhD supervisors: Prof L Beheregaray & Prof N Chao Primarily, I am interested in how DNA can be used to address fundamental questions in evolutionary biology. In 2011 I completed my PhD (Macquarie University, Sydney) studying the origin of Amazonian fish diversity. Using a range of molecular markers and analytical approaches, I […]
Dr Shannon Corrigan
Dr Shannon Corrigan PhD supervisor: Prof L Beheregaray I am fascinated by the evolution and natural history of marine organisms. I have broad research interests in evolutionary ecology, biogeography and conservation biology, particularly of chondrichthyan fishes. I aim to use modern DNA technology to study the processes that drive population divergence and ultimately, speciation in […]
Dr Fernando Diaz-Aguirre
Dr Fernando Diaz-Aguirre PhD Supervisors: A/Prof Luciana Möller and Dr Guido Parra My experience in cetacean research dates back to 2003 when I started collaborating in different projects related with the behaviour and ecology of common bottlenose dolphins, Chilean dolphins and fin whales. After participating in these projects, I realized how amazing was to be […]
Dr Fabricius Domingos
Dr Fabricius Domingos PhD supervisors: Prof L Beheregaray and Prof G Colli (UNB, BRazil) I have a Bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences and a Master’s in Ecology, both by the University of Brasília (Brazil). I recently graduated from my PhD at the Molecular Ecology Lab at Flinders University. Before enrolling in my PhD I was […]
Dr Leanne Faulks
Dr Leanne Faulks PhD supervisors: Prof L Beheregaray & Dr D Gilligan (DPI NSW) My passion for the natural world no doubt started with family camping holidays around Australia, David Attenborough documentaires and childhood dreams of being a park ranger or marine biologist. Although time may have altered my ’dream job’, my interest in all […]
Dr Pedro Fruet
Dr Pedro Fruet D Supervisors: Dr L Moller & Dr E Secchi (University of Rio Grande, Brazil). My general research interest is focused on population ecology of cetaceans and their interaction with human activities. I have special curiosity in understanding the population dynamics of coastal dolphins and how human activities affect their viability. During my […]
Dr Shannon Loughnan
Dr Shannon Loughnan PhD supervisors: Prof L Beheregaray & Dr N Robinson Following the completion of a science degree at Deakin University Warrnambool Australia in 2002, I graduated with honours in the molecular biology field. A library of genetic markers for Murray cod Maccullochella peelii peelii was developed for my honours, to assist in both conservation and […]
Dr Chris Muller
Dr Chris Muller PhD supervisors: Prof L Beheregaray & Prof L Hughes My research interests include the taxonomy and evolution of Indo-Pacific butterflies, island biogeography and phylogenetics. I am an economic geologist by profession, hence the interplay of tectonics and diversification has been my key focus. My PhD (completed in 2011 under Prof. Luciano Beheregaray) […]
Dr Eleanor Pratt
Dr Eleanor Pratt PhD supervisors: A/Prof L Möller and Prof L Beheregaray Despite growing up on a farm without an ocean in sight, I knew from a young age that I wanted to be a marine biologist. Driven by my interest in the Great Barrier Reef, I moved to Townsville, Queensland in 2012 to complete my Bachelor of […]
