Rivka Glaser

Rivka Glaser serves as a Lecturer at Stevenson University within the Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science (SEA-PHAGES) program, teaching both wet-lab phage discovery and computational genomics courses across multiple academic terms from Fall 2023 through Spring 2025.

Her research integrates Microbiology with Bioinformatics, specializing in bacteriophage isolation using Arthrobacter globiformis hosts and genomic annotation. She consistently teaches honors sections to freshmen cohorts while expanding into advanced independent research supervision for upper-level students, demonstrating commitment to undergraduate science education innovation.

Throughout her SEA-PHAGES instruction, she maintains standardized protocols with 3-hour weekly sessions, adapting class sizes from 2 to 22 students while tracking student demographics across academic levels. Her Spring 2025 independent research project specifically involves two sophomore students in genome annotation workflows.
