PhD Candidate

Jeremy Horowitz is a PhD candidate supervised by Tom Bridge, Bob Pressey, and Julian Caley. His research uses black corals as a model system to investigate how drivers of speciation change in both vertical and horizontal dimensions, and the implications for conservation of these less considered, deep habitats.
