Program: PhD
Major Professor: Kevin Freedman
taylor.burchard@email.ucr.edu 

Research Focus: Taylor is first-year Biophysics Ph.D. student at the University of California, Riverside (UCR). She is interested in studying life in extreme environments and planetary analogue environments (saline lakes, hydrothermal vents, and hot springs) using nanopore sequencing and Raman spectroscopy. She is interested in studying environments and microorganisms that correlate to the types of environments and microorganisms that might be found on planets and moons like Mars, Europa, and Enceladus. Taylor is currently working with Dr. Kevin Freedman from UCR Bioengineering (Ion Lab) and Dr. Scott M Perl from NASA JPL (OHL). 

Undergraduate Institution: Taylor earned her undergraduate degree from Whitworth University in Biology (B.S.) where she did undergraduate research in the Physics & Engineering department in the Microdevices Lab.
