Meet the Marine Biology Faculty
Prof. Goffredi鈥檚 research interests concern beneficial symbiotic partnerships between bacteria and invertebrates
Trained as an ichthyologist, Prof. Pondella's major research focus is the rocky reefs and kelp beds in the Southern California Bight where he works on a number of programs including marine protected areas, fisheries, artificial reef technology and subtidal restoration.
Prof. Schulz studies the biology of cone snails, venomous marine gastropods whose peptide neurotoxins are highly selective modulators of ion channels and cell surface receptors.
I am a marine ecologist interested in how species interactions and communities respond to climate change and other human-induced stressors; as part of this work, I have focused on coral reef, seagrass, and oyster reef ecosystems across the U.S. and Caribbean.
