About MeMy name is Sophia Provencher, and I'm a M.S. student in the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology department at the University of Connecticut. As a member of Colin Kremer's lab at UConn, I plan to focus on phycology, climate change ecology, and trophic level adaptations. . In particular, I'm interested in understanding how HABs are contributing to food chain and ecosystem changes. Link to CV |

Research
Before I came to UConn, I spent my undergraduate years at Bay Path University. For two years, I conducted research alongside Dr. Gina Semprebon on how Desmidiales can be used as bioindicators of freshwater health.
Beginning in 2022, I began working for Seaside Sustainability a non-profit organization based in Gloucester, Massachusetts. I was appointed to become the fellow for the Climate Action team where I oversaw 4 research teams regarding community action, nature based solutions, renewable energy, and the Seaside Sustainability “C” Change Newsletter. In 2023, I began research projects on accessible forms of blue technology and how they could be integrated into school systems and low income areas to improve wetland and marine health.
