معرفی
Kristin Bishop is a Lecturer in the Department of Biology at the University of Vermont (UVM). She holds a B.S. in Zoology from the University of Washington and a Ph.D. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from Brown University. Her expertise spans comparative vertebrate anatomy, vertebrate zoology, evolution, and general biology. She has held postdoctoral positions at Duke University and the University of California, Davis, where she conducted research on vertebrate locomotion and computational modeling of suction feeding in fish. Before joining UVM, she taught Biological Sciences at Florida International University.
Education:
- B.S. in Zoology, University of Washington
- Ph.D. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Brown University
Research Interests: Her work focuses on vertebrate functional morphology and biomechanics, including the evolutionary history of flight in bats, mechanics of walking in cats and primates, and fluid dynamics of suction feeding in fish. She employs computational models to explore these topics, bridging experimental and theoretical approaches.
Awards:
- NSF Graduate Research Fellowship
- NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biological Informatics
Teaching & Advising: Specializes in courses like Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy, Vertebrate Zoology, and Evolution. Advising history not explicitly detailed in available records.
Labs/Teams: Collaborated on biological informatics projects at UC Davis, though current lab affiliations at UVM are unspecified.
