Emma M. Rhodes, PhD
I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Memphis (UofM) in the College of Health Sciences supported by Dr. Yufeng Zhang. At UofM, I study avian taxa as a non-model species with applications to the human health sciences. I obtained my PhD at Auburn University in biological sciences where I studied the physiological underpinnings of avian migration and how they relate to the evolution of migration. I have other broad interests which include ecophysiology, conservation physiology, and general migration biology.
