Mikaela I Chandra
Inessa Chandra is a Ph.D. candidate in the Marine and Environmental Biology program under the advisement of Dr. Andrew Gracey and Dr. Sergey Nuzhdin. She studies the temporal dynamics of giant kelp physiology, primarily using transcriptomics and in the context of the circadian clock and senescence. She hopes her work will contribute to advances in aquaculture (breeding “stay-green” traits), restoration (understanding local adaptations), and macroalgal carbon accounting (intrinsic controls for balance and timing of carbon flux).
