Noel Quinn

Noel Quinn has been studying and researching aquatic and wetland species throughout his undergraduate and graduate career.  His PhD area is Integrative Biology, which incorporates an interdisciplinary approach utilizing areas of physics and chemistry to answer biological/ecological questions, namely the role of the physical environment in facilitating the spread of invasive species in the Great Lakes.
