Brayan Vilanova-Cuevas just defended his dissertation in the Field of Microbiology at Cornell University. In January, he will be off to do a postdoc at the University of North Carolina -- Charlotte under the mentorship of Dr. Elaine Luo. His research in the Luo lab will focus on grazing by marine snails on corals, with implications for management and conservation of coral reefs.

Congratulations, Brayan!
