Graduate students
McKenna Riley
MSc student, ASU
McKenna studies to what extent mosquitoes are able to respond to climate change, to better understand the impact of climate change on vector-borne diseases and public health
Michael Erickson
MSc student, ASU
Michael continues to develop our novel non-chemical electric field technology that repels and captures mosquitoes, with a focus on understanding mosquito flight behavior near electric fields
Milena Riegel
MSc student, ASU
Milena aims to strengthen our understanding of how anthropogenic disturbances and climate change impact mosquito life-history traits
Adele Malone
MSc student, ASU
Adele studies when mosquitoes in Maricopa County are active during the day, and how this relates to our own activity patterns, to better understand where and when disease transmission occurs
Annika Avery
PhD candidate, ASU
Annika studies how mosquitoes respond to ecological changes, and helps create resilient spaces considering the shift in mosquito habitats due to climate change
Va’Trelle Stokely
PhD candidate, ASU
(co-supervised by Prof. Jim Collins)
Va’Trelle is investigating mosquito mating behavior and population dynamics to guide the release of mosquitoes to suppress local mosquito populations and disease transmission
Joshua Kalmouni
PhD candidate, ASU
Joshua has a strong interest in how climate influences vector physiology and vector-borne disease dynamics of public health relevance
Undergraduate students
Kyla Gayle Doctor is involved in our climate-mosquito work
Autumn Roberts is involved in our electric field work
Adrian Stebbins is involved in mosquito rearing and assessing mosquito life-history traits
