Kendall Calhoun Assistant Professor
I am a community ecologist and global change biologist studying how climatic disturbances affect species assemblages and interactions across wildlife communities and how this impacts ecological resilience, human-wildlife conflict, and conservation outcomes.
In addition to my research interests, I am passionate in using my work and position to expand equity, diversity and access to STEM fields for under-represented groups. I work towards these goals via advocacy, mentorship, and outreach. Outside of work I love cooking, video games, traveling, and getting outdoors.

Amida Verhey
PhD Student, Zoology, UBC
Amida (Ami) is a first-year PhD student in Zoology. He is interested in quantitative and community ecology and how their synthesis helps us understand the effects of changing fire regimes on the interactions and composition of wildlife species in western North America. For his graduate research, he will use camera traps across California to understand changes to predator co-occurrence after wildfire. Outside of research, he likes to stroll through nature, mix music, eat delicious food, and play games with friends.
