Our PhD Wall is Growing — and So Is Our Research Family!

Our PhD Wall is Growing — and So Is Our Research Family!

October 8, 2025

It’s been a remarkable year for our research team! The PhD Wall of Fame, showcasing all past and current doctoral researchers, has officially reached its limits — and we’ve had to expand it to make room for even more success stories.

So far six PhD defenses have taken place just this year, with several more on the horizon. Each defense represents years of dedication, innovation, and collaboration within our research community — and it’s a joy to see the wall filling up faster than ever before.

The newly extended wall now proudly features portraits and titles of all our PhD alumni and current candidates, celebrating their scientific achievements and contributions to our ongoing projects. As we prepare for the next round of defenses in the coming months, we’re already asking ourselves the big question: where do we expand to next?

Congratulations to all our PhD graduates and soon-to-be doctors — your work continues to inspire the next generation of researchers!

Forest edges are tricky places. They're where woodland meets open ground, where light and shade trade off every few meters, and where, it turns out, ticks tend to do really well. That last bit is exactly why Dr. Ariane Droin, Sofica Garcia de Leon, Dr. Jakob...

Walk through any city and you pick up on things that are hard to put a number on. The noise of a main road, the heat that sits between buildings in summer, the question of whether that little park around the corner is really enough green space for the whole...
