Jeanette D. Wheeler-Fitzgerald is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology at Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador. She completed her PhD at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Joint Program in 2016, where her research focused on the effects of various water column cues on the swimming behavior of larval invertebrates. Following her doctoral research, she worked as a postdoctoral researcher in Roman Stocker's lab at the Institute of Environmental Engineering at ETH Zürich, investigating how phytoplankton and marine bacteria alter their behavior in response to a range of environmental conditions. Her current research explores the interactions occurring at the microscale within ocean ecosystems, emphasizing the behavior of planktonic organisms and their responses to complex environmental cues. Dr. Wheeler-Fitzgerald is dedicated to interdisciplinary work that combines biology, mathematics, and physics, and she encourages students from diverse backgrounds to engage in her research projects that bridge these fields.
