Graduate students
Milena Riegel
MSc student, ASU
Milena aims to strengthen our understanding of how anthropogenic disturbances and climate change impact mosquito life-history traits
Adele Malone
MSc student, ASU
Adele studies when mosquitoes in Maricopa County are active during the day, and how this relates to our own activity patterns, to better understand where and when disease transmission occurs
Annika Avery
PhD student, ASU
Annika studies how mosquitoes respond to ecological changes, and helps create resilient spaces considering the shift in mosquito habitats due to climate change
Va’Trelle Stokely
PhD candidate, ASU
(co-supervised by Prof. Jim Collins)
Va’Trelle is investigating mosquito mating behavior and population dynamics to guide the release of mosquitoes to suppress local mosquito populations and disease transmission
Ndey Bassin Jobe
PhD candidate, ASU
Ndey aims to better understand the biology and behavior of mosquitoes, which will allow her to design and test new innovative vector surveillance and control tools
Joshua Kalmouni
PhD candidate, ASU
Joshua has a strong interest in how climate influences vector physiology and vector-borne disease dynamics of public health relevance
