Kurt Andresen |
Physics |
I study electrostatic interactions in biological systems using spectroscopic
and x-ray scattering techniques. In particular, I'm interested in the physical
processes involved with the compaction of DNA. |

Josef Brandauer |
Health Sciences |
My research is mostly on the biological regulation of aging, specifically in
skeletal muscle tissue. I'm interested in how lifestyle (exercise, 'good' diet,
etc.) can affect this process |

John Comitto |
Environmental Studies |
I am a marine scientist doing research on the ecology of the seafloor,
currently focusing on the self-organization of mussel bed spatial patterns. I’m
also interested in predator-prey interactions, biodiversity, and the so-called
“ecosystem services” provided by seafloor organisms. I conduct most of my field
work with students during summers in Maine, and I’ve also done research
sabbaticals in Norway, New Zealand, and Italy. |

Health Sciences |
My research is focused on Exercise Induced Hypoalgesia. In short, I study
the relationship between the physiological aspects of exercise as it relates to
pain augmentation. |

Sarah Principato |
Environmental Studies |
I am a geologist, and my research focuses on glacial geology, glacial
sedimentology, and records of climate change. I have worked most extensively on
the glacial history of northwest Iceland, but I have also worked in Wisconsin
and Maine. Students have worked with me as research assistants in Iceland and
Maine. |
