Student Email: awq2101@columbia.edu
Andrew got his B.S.
from the University of Michigan. He is interested in the relationship between
soil fungal and plant communities, as well as the role of
aboveground-belowground interactions in biogeochemical cycles. He is conducting his thesis
research in the forests of Puerto Rico. Jazlynn Shaydra Hall, Ph. D. Student Email: jsh2211@columbia.edu\
Jazlynn received her undergraduate degrees from the University of
Wyoming, where she conducted research on the paleopathology of a human population
in Peru, on reconstructing past climates of high elevation sites in Wyoming
through pollen analysis, and on secondary forest water use in Panama. Her
current interests are in exploring the relationship between land use and
restoration on water in tropical forest ecosystems. She would like to explore
how to best reforest previously disturbed landscapes to mitigate climate
change and benefit ecosystems and humans. She will utilize multiple pathways
for this analysis and her research will likely be conducted in Puerto Rico or
Brazil. Pedro Ribeiro Piffer, Ph. D. Student Email: prp2123@columbia.edu
Pedro is a biologist from Brazil, whose main research interest is
conservation and environmental restoration in tropical forests. Pedro
received his BS from University of São Paulo and his MSc in Ecology from
State University of Campinas, working mainly with ecology of marine
invertebrates. Pedro has over four years of experience as an environmental
consultant in the private sector in Brazil. For his PhD research, Pedro is
interested in the conflict between land use choices and ecosystem services
maintenance in the Atlantic Rainforest. He hopes to integrate his research
with current restoration efforts in the Atlantic Rainforest in his home
state. Dev Harrington, B. A. Student Email: srh2162@columbia.edu
