BIO
Rachel Cray is a biologist in the Morales-Williams lab studying phytoplankton ecology and ecosystem function. Her current interests focus on how small scale, biochemical factors enact large scale, dynamic changes in aquatic systems. Rachel is originally from Maine and has received both her B.S. and M.S. in Biology from the University of Southern Maine. Her previous research at USM and the Marine Biology Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA has involved cyanobacterial bloom dynamics, lake biogeochemistry, oxidative stress, algal biochemistry, and advanced microscopy techniques. In her free time, Rachel enjoys knitting, baking, gardening, and paddle boarding.
Prospective graduate students interested in learning more about research and experiences in the Rubenstein School may contact her.
Area(s) of expertise
Phytoplankton, aquatic microbiology, biogeochemistry, ecosystem ecology
