Amani is a 2nd year PhD student working on the functional morphology and swimming kinematics of sharks. She is particularly interested in their scales, termed dermal denticles, and their influence on water flow around sharks. Amani is also a co-founder and the chief financial officer of the 501(c)3 nonprofit Minorities in Shark Sciences. 

Cat Eno is a graduate student pursuing a PhD in Biology with a focus in biomechanics. Cat is interested in pursuing shark tagging, and was awarded the Naval Undersea Research Program (NURP) grant, along with Dr. Brooke Flammang and Dr. Aren Hellum, that will fund the first 3 years of her research! Cat's project is to work alongside Dr. Brooke Flammang, NJIT, and Dr. Aren Hellum, NUWC, on developing a rechargeable tracking device that utilizes the remora adhesive disc as means of attachment. Cat's goal is to use this device to tag Whale Sharks to learn more about their life history traits as well as aiding in their conservation.

Danna is a third-year biomedical engineering student, with a focus on animal rehabilitation, morphological research, and biomedical simulators. She is currently working with Dr. Brooke Flammang on the Remora Adhesive Device project tailored toward marine biotelemetry applications. Her work involves biomechanics and the development of advanced biomaterials for 3D modeling of the housing component.

Daniela is a high school student from Princeton who has been working independently on walking mutant fishes. She joined the lab to learn new techniques and advance her research.
