Seth Shirazi

Graduate Student (PhD)

Since September, 2021

Seth received his bachelor's at the University of Oregon where he studied biology with an emphasis in marine biology

Seth's primary interests include functional morphology, biomechanics, population genetics and behavioral ecology. At UC Riverside, he will be focusing on the genetics underlying biomechanical traits in freshwater and marine stickleback. He hopes to use this research to better understand the evolution of biomechanical traits.

Erik Axlid

Graduate Student (PhD)

Since September, 2022

Erik was a master’s student in Dr. Michael Minicozzi’s lab at Minnesota State University, Mankato. There he studied the functional morphology in cyprinodontiform fishes

Erik’s primary areas of interest are fish functional morphology and biomechanics, and he is particularly interested in linking the form and function of fishes to their environment. Here at UCR, he is studying the effects of flow on predator-prey interactions.
