Microbiology Ph.D. candidate, in the lab since Spring 2022
mmconyers (at) ucdavis (dot) edu
For her project, Mira tests a range of microbials, including Collimonas strains, for their ability to protect tomato and other plants against pathogens.
Alycia RASMUSSEN
Microbiology Ph.D. candidate, in the lab since Spring 2022
arrasmussen (at) ucdavis (dot) edu
Aly studies the photodegradation and light-induced activities of bacterially produced indole 3-acetic acid (IAA), as well as the bacterial chemotaxis towards amino acids in the phyllosphere.
Eduardo RUIZ
Microbiology Ph.D. candidate, in the lab since Spring 2021
emruiz (at) ucdavis (dot) edu
Eduardo is interested in the biology and ecology of bacterial symplasmata, in the context of phyllosphere microbiology. He also studies the activity and specificity of a phyllosphere-isolated bacteriophage.
Susannah HALBROOK
Postdoc, in the lab since Winter 2025
shalbrook (at) ucdavis (dot) edu
Susannah investigates how disease alters the rhizosphere microbiomes of carrots and how we can utilize microbiomes to predict and combat agricultural diseases.
