Lia Chalifour - PhD Candidate (NSERC), 2016 -
Previously: Research Assistant (Summer - Fall 2015)
Lia initially joined the lab in the summer of 2015 to help kickstart our eelgrass research program, bringing her wealth of coastal BC ecology and conservation experience with her. She began her MSc in January of 2016 and transferred up to a PhD in September 2018, co-supervised by Tara Martin (UBC). Lia's PhD is focused on the ecology and conservation of fish communities in BC, particularly Fraser River salmon populations. You can learn more about her research here. She is supported by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions and MEOPAR. Lia conducts her research in close collaboration with Raincoast Conservation Foundation. Contact: liac 'at' uvic.ca

Daisy Buzzoni - PhD Candidate, 2020 -
Daisy completed her MSc in Florida at the University of Miami with our collaborator Dr. Andrew Baker last year. She joined us as a PhD candidate fall 2020 investigating the effects of local disturbance on coral symbioses in a warming ocean. She will be looking at changes in the microbial communities of reef-building coral holobionts under local and global stressors in the tropical Pacific. Her MSc research addressed competition dynamics between coral algal symbionts, and field interventions involving manipulating symbiont communities. Daisy can be reached on twitter @DaisyBuzzoni or by email daisybuzzoni 'at' gmail.com

Matthew Csordas - MSc Candidate (NSERC), 2020 -
Matt finished his Bachelor of Engineering and Biosciences in Chemical and Bioengineering at McMaster University in 2020. To start off his MSc, Matt will be will be working as a part of the Baum Lab Coral Team using images to create 3D models of coral colonies with the goal of quantifying colony growth year to year. Matt also hopes his background in big data analysis will help him determine the most important factors to both coral survival and recovery during and after the 2015/16 El Niño.
