In the beginning of the 17th century\, the invention of the telescope by Galileo revolutionized our knowledge of the Universe. Finally\, in the 20th century with the advent of rockets\, it became possible to go above the earth’s atmosphere and observe X-ray and gamma ray radiation which are the marks of the hot and violent Universe. But it is not only light that can give us information about the cosmos. Neutrinos and cosmic rays also provide vital information.

His lab group studies the developmental and genomic changes that drive adaptation and speciation. Using butterflies as a model system\, his group dissects how wing-pattern diversity arises\, how mimicry evolves\, and how gene regulation\, chromosomal architecture\, and introgression shape rapid radiations. His work integrates comparative genomics\, developmental biology\, and field studies of natural hybrid zones to reveal how new adaptive traits and new species originate in nature. Currently\, his research team is exploring the regulatory genomic changes involved in plastic seasonal variation in butterfly wing color patterns and how such changes influence hybridization and speciation.

She stayed at Miami University to complete her Ph.D. in evolutionary developmental biology (2018) where she studied the evolutionary origin of insect wings and used insects and a crustacean as model systems. Prior to starting her position at UNC Asheville\, Dr. Clark-Hachtel was a postdoctoral researcher at UNC Chapel Hill where she began working on understanding the mechanisms of ionizing radiation tolerance in the lab-reared tardigrade Hypsibius exemplaris. She started at UNC Asheville in the Fall of 2023 where she and her students have been expanding our knowledge of tardigrade ionizing radiation tolerance beyond traditionally used lab species\, interrogating the gene expression changes that facilitate this tolerance\, and exploring the mechanisms that tardigrades use to survive other genotoxic stresses.

He received bachelors degrees in chemistry and biology from University of North Carolina Chapel Hill\, where he synthesized and characterized biotherapeutic and antimicrobial nanoparticles for sensor applications under the supervision of Dr. Mark Schoenfisch. He received his Ph.D. working under Rick Yost at University of Florida. During his graduate studies\, he responsible for integrating drift tube-ion mobility spectrometry (DTIMS) into the Yost lab. Chris’s interests at UF involved IM-MS studies of clinical molecules (steroids\, Vitamin D metabolites) and improved identification of anabolic androgenic steroids in athletes. After graduating from UF\, Chris held a prestigious post-doctoral position at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) in Richland\, WA. While working with Dick Smith\, Chris designed and developed a Structures for Lossless Ion Manipulations (SLIM) platform that enabled the first integration of LC into the SLIM IM-MS pipeline for improved analysis in phosphoproteomics. After four years at Florida Tech\, Chris joined the faculty at Clemson in 2022. Project in his group broadly involve IM-MS instrument development\, fundamentals of ionization and gas-phase structure\, and applications toward illicit drugs\, biomolecules\, and environmental contaminants. He was recently named a Rising Star by the International Society for Ion Mobility Spectrometry (ISIMS)\, an Emerging Investigator by the American Society for Mass Spectrometry\, and a Rising Star in Measurement Science by the American Chemical Society. He currently holds joint affiliations in the Eukaryotic Pathogens Innovation Center (EPIC)\, Clemson University School of Health Research (CUSHR)\, and the Robert H. Brooks Sports Science Institute.
