Nadia got her start in evolutionary biology as an undergraduate, working in the lab of Steve Palumbi. She did her PhD at Stanford University with Dmitri Petrov and did a postdoc at Cornell University with Andrew Clark and Chip Aquadro. Since moving to Raleigh in the Fall of 2010, Nadia has rekindled her love affair with biscuits. |

Chad received his B.S. in Biological Sciences, with minors in Genetics and Music, from North Carolina State in 2009 and his M.S. in Cell Biology from East Carolina University in 2011, studying DNA replication and genome integrity. Chad is broadly interested in genetics and still trying to find his niche but enjoys working with the model organism Drosophila. Chad is a huge college football fan but enjoys watching and playing almost all sports. |

Matt received his B.S. in Biology at UNC-Chapel Hill and his Masters in Biology at East Carolina University studying intron evolution. His research interests are in evolutionary genetics and bioinformatics. When not in the lab Matt enjoys playing soccer, frisbee golf, and going to watch the Carolina Hurricanes. |

While in the Singh lab, Jeff completed a project using population genetic techniques to reconstruct the invasion history of Drosophila suzukii in the United States. After receiving his B.S. in the Biology Department in the summer of 2012, Jeff left NCSU to pursue a PhD in Biology at Indiana University. |

Dhriti, an international student at NC State, started working in the Singh lab during Summer 2011 and received her B.S. in Biology in May 2012. While here, Dhriti investigated the frequency of Wolbachia infection in natural populations of Drosophila melanogaster and D. simulans. She is currently exploring research opportunities in the Raleigh area as she prepares to apply to graduate school. |

Gwen is a student at Appalachian State University, majoring in Chemistry. To follow up on the project of lab alumnus Jeff Adrion, Gwen came to the Singh Lab for the summer of 2012 to work on the genetics of olfactory preferences in Drosophila suzukii. She's interested in a career in forensics but learned how much fun fruit flies are and enjoyed putting her classwork to practical use. |
