Megan is a post doctoral researcher investigating the recent demographic history of tigers within India. Megan's research focuses on how habitat fragmentation, and bounty hunting during British colonial rule impacted the genomic diversity of tiger populations. Megan has field experience sampling biodiversity across multiple regions including bird surveys in St Lucia, understanding mammal distribution in eastern Thailand, and lemur diversity and distribution in Madagascar. Her PhD research focused on genomics of the aye-aye, a cryptic, nocturnal lemur species. Megan conducts research that spans the disciplines of conservation, bioinformatics, molecular biology, and genomics. She is especially interested in the application of genomics to questions that are pertinent to species conservation, and how to be use advances in genomics to support biodiversity conservation.
