PI - Tom Powell
Assistant Professor Department of Biological Sciences Office- 112 Science III Phone- 607-777-4439 email- powellt@binghamton.edu Google Scholar I started as a faculty member at Binghamton in August 2016. I came here after a postdoc in Dan Hahn's evolutionary physiology lab in the Entomology and Nematology Department at the University of Florida. Before that, I spent time as visiting postdoc working with Art Weis at the University of Toronto's Koffler Scientific Reserve. I did my PhD at the University of Notre Dame under the guidance of Jeff Feder. My undergrad alma mater is Shepherd University in West Virginia, where I had the opportunity to start my research career in the conservation genetics lab at the USGS Leetown Science Center. |

Postdoc - Alycia Lackey
Office - G46 Science III email- alackey@binghamton.edu website: alyciarlackey.weebly.com Alycia started as a postdoc in the lab in the summer of 2017. She is interested to understand how populations diverge and potentially evolve into new species as well as how environmental change affects these processes. Before coming to Binghamton, she completed a postdoc at Murray State University examining lifetime fitness consequences for two morphs of long-lived tiger salamanders. Before that, she earned her Ph.D. from Michigan State University and worked on speciation, sexual selection, and how environmental change facilitated hybridization between two species of threespine stickleback fish. You can read more about her work on her website. |

Pheobe Deneen
Office - 115 Science III email - pdeneen1@binghamton.edu I am a first year PhD student in the Powell Lab. I graduated from UMass Amherst in May 2017; my undergraduate research in the Adler Lab was on how the chemical composition of pollen affects parasite load in bumblebees. I am broadly interested in how multitrophic systems respond to environmental changes, as well as speciation in plant-insect systems. |
