The department of E&E brings together leading experts in their fields to share groundbreaking
research and insights. Our series offers a dynamic platform for faculty, students,
and the broader community to engage with cutting-edge ideas in ecology and evolution.
Through these presentations, we aim to foster intellectual growth, inspire future
research, and contribute to a deeper understanding of our natural world. Our doctoral students culminate their academic journeys with a rigorous defense of
their original research. This formal presentation offers an opportunity for students
to showcase their expertise, engage in scholarly dialogue, and receive valuable feedback
from faculty and peers. These events are open to the public and provide a glimpse
into the cutting-edge research being conducted within our department.
