STUDENT SPOTLIGHT: Gabby Orfanides
Gabby is a current PhD student in the Guglielmo lab.
Gabby's work focuses on the study the flight performance of Yellow-rumped Warblers, and how avian malaria and wildfire smoke – a growing concern in recent summers – may be affecting the flight of these birds.
For Gabby, the opportunity to do her PhD research on bird flight physiology at the only wind tunnel of its kind in the world, alongside researchers whose work she read throughout her undergraduate degree, has been a dream come true.
