MSc and PhD defenses of the group

29 November, 2024

Over the last month, two students of the TAJRC group succesfully defended their thesis! 

Mai Aldhahri defended her Master's thesis, presenting her research on “The Role of Symbiosis Status in Moderating the Physiological and Metabolomic Responses of the Cnidarian Model Cassiopea andromeda to Warming”. The study explores the symbiosis's role in shaping cnidarian polyps' responses to thermal stress.

Eleonora Re defended her PhD project titled "Growth patterns and integration processes in colonial anthozoans", investigating the biological mechanism behind scleractinian coral morphogenesis and the effort of developing a generalized numerical model to predict coral morphologies using few key parameters. 

Wish you all the best!
