The students featured below represent a variety of disciplines and stages of study, ranging from Geology to English and from master's programs to Ph.D. alumni. University of Wyoming faculty and administration make a concerted effort to ensure students are seen as individuals, not a number in a classroom, which is a commonly stated advantage of the relatively small community of 2,460 graduate students.
Rowan researches nuclear anxiety in text, particularly as it appears in video games, and connects that research with early atomic literature.
David researches population-level effects and behavioral changes of chronic wasting disease in free-ranging white-tailed deer.
Brady studies how climate change impacts depositional processes in rivers and floodplains on time-scales greater than 10,000 years.
Dane researches G-protein coupled receptor signaling in neurons, and how they can directly associate with DNA. This has implications on pharmaceutical drug development and neurological functioning.
Levi studies genetic engineering of microalgae for industrial, agricultural and technological applications, particularly as it relates to energy and monetary cost of harvesting microalgae for biofuels, animal feed, plastics and other commodities.
