Leadership Team

Emelia Keim is a PhD student in Microbiology and Immunology researching production of tryptophan metabolites in the gut microbiome and their role in cellular differentiation, epithelial barrier function, and immune responses in both in vivo and in vitro models. Outside the lab, you'll catch her reading, traversing local trails, weightlifting, or annoying her cats. 

Amelia Lewis is a PhD student in LRES whose research at MSU is focused on ecohydrology, large scale watershed hydrology, and land-atmosphere water fluxes. Her primary research focuses on investigating spatial and temporal trends in water chemistry data in the Tenderfoot Creek Experimental Forest, Montana. In her free time, she has fun being a jack of all hobbies, enjoying hiking, cross country skiing, cooking, embroidery, and aerial arts.

Emma Morgan is a graduate student in Environmental Engineering who researches wastewater treatment through artificial snowmaking and helps with pilot projects that use engineered vertical treatment wetlands to treat wastewater. When Emma isn't "talking crap," you can find her outside, likely bikepacking on her gravel bike, Mariposa, who has taken her thousands of miles in different parts of the world.
