Marquette Mutchler

Hi there! I am currently an NSF-funded Ph.D. student at the University of Chicago, where I hope to pursue the study of avian sensory systems and their part in speciation processes. I was also formerly an NSF-funded researcher at the Moore Lab of Zoology at Occidental College, where I worked from 2021-2023. My current work broadly revolves around neotropical ornithology, with a particular interest in the evolutionary relationships of Amazonian and Mexican bird systems. In addition to birding, I enjoy art and photography. Through my passions, I hope to inspire and encourage others to look into STEM-based careers!
