Current Graduate Students:

Rachel Jastrebsky is a doctoral student in the Department of Biological Sciences at ODU.  Rachel is studying the biomechanics of turning in cuttlefishes and squids using a combination of approaches including high-speed videography and volumetric particle image velocimetry.

Carly York is a doctoral student in the Department of Biological Sciences at ODU. Carly is studying the hydrodynamics and sensory biomechanics of escape responses in squids throughout ontogeny using high-speed video and volumetric particle image velocimetry. 

Kristy Phillips is a MS student in the Department of Biological Sciences at ODU.  Kristy is working on a joint ODU/Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center project examining feeding patterns in bottlenose dolphins.
