Heather Hines
Associate Professor of Biology and Entomology
Applies genomic, transcriptomic, phylogenomic, and bioinformatic approaches to study the evolution and genetics of diverse traits in bees and wasps. This includes study of mimetic color diversification, plant gall induction, novel morphologies, speciation, and social evolution.
George Perry

How environmental change and human management shape bee health and long-term persistence of their populations in agricultural areas.
Center for Infectious Disease Dynamics
Rudolf Schilder
Associate Professor of Entomology and Biology
Comparative & ecological physiology of insect and mammalian locomotion.
Jonas Rubenson
Associate Professor of Kinesiology
Integrating experimental and modeling approaches to study gait and skeletal muscle function during locomotion in both health and disease/impairment. In particular, the relationship between in vivo muscle mechanics and metabolic energetics and mechanisms underlying locomotor adaptation and optimization.
