Kevin J. Emerson

Kevin J. Emerson serves as Professor of Biology at St. Mary's College of Maryland, affiliated with the Biology Department and based in Schaefer Hall 231.

His academic credentials include:

• B.S. in Biology from Clarkson University (2002)
• B.S. in Mathematics from Clarkson University (2002)
• Ph.D. in Evolutionary Genetics from the University of Oregon (2009)

Dr. Emerson's research investigates how environmental interactions with genomic mechanisms govern developmental and physiological processes, and how evolutionary adaptations facilitate organism proliferation across temperate ecosystems. His integrative methodology combines molecular biology with physiological, evolutionary, and ecological frameworks, specializing in Evolutionary Genetics, Genomics, and Computational Biology.

He directs a research laboratory at St. Mary's College of Maryland focused on environmental genomics and evolutionary adaptation mechanisms.
