Patricia completed her PhD at James Cook University (School of Marine Biology, AIMS@JCU, CoE for Coral Reef Studies) and the Australian Institute of Marine Science. Her thesis work employed population genetic approaches to assess cryptic speciation, genetic connectivity, breeding system characteristics and sperm dispersal within the coral genus Seriatopora. Additional work included investigations of reproductive biology and Symbiodinium genetics. She was supervised by Prof. Bette Willis (JCU) and Dr. Madeleine van Oppen (AIMS). After submitting her PhD, Patricia has continued her research in population genetics of corals as a postdoctoral researcher at Hopkins Marine Station of Stanford University.
