THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN REGENTS COMMUNICATION Item for Information Subject: Henry Russel Awards for 20 19 I am pleased to inform you that the Henry Russel Awards Faculty Advisory Committee, chaired by Interim Dean Michael J. Solomon, met recently and selected four faculty members to receive Henry Russel Awards for 2019. This award, which recognizes both exceptional scholarship and conspicuous ability as a teacher, is one of the highest honors the University bestows upon junior faculty members. The awards will be presented on the occasion of the Henry Russel Lecture, to be delivered in the Winter Tenn of2019. The faculty members selected to receive this award are: Meghan A. Duffy, Associate Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, College of Literature, Science, and the Arts Matthew Jobnson-Roberson, Assistant Professor of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering and Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, College of Engineering Timothy McAllister, Associate Professor of Music, Department of Winds and Percussion, School of Music, Theatre & Dance Necmiye Ozay, Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, College of Engineering Respectfully submitted, !'1~ ML.LJ MarkS. Schlissel President June 2018 Attachment Megban A. Duffy Meghan DuffY received her B.S. in biological sciences from Cornell University (2000) and her Ph.D. in zoology and ecology, evolutionary biology, and behavior from Michigan State University (2006). She was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and an assistant professor in the School of Biology at the Georgia Institute ofTechnology before her appointment in 2012 as assistant professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University ofMichigan. -
Drivers of Epidemic Timing and Size in a Natural Aquatic System By
Drivers of Epidemic Timing and Size in a Natural Aquatic System by Clara L. Shaw A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ecology and Evolutionary Biology) in The University of Michigan 2019 Doctoral Committee: Professor Meghan A. Duffy, Chair Professor Mark Hunter Professor Edward Ionides Associate Professor Timothy Y. James Professor Aaron A. King Clara L. Shaw [email protected] ORCID iD: 0000-0002-0176-8519 DEDICATION To Andrew Wood and Ruth and Frank Shaw Thank you for your unwavering confidence in me. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This work has only been possible with the unwavering support of my advisor, Meghan Duffy. Her ideas, knowledge, and care have guided and inspired me in my research. Meghan has patiently helped me hone my ideas, improve my questions, and perfect my writing. Her love of discovery is truly inspiring, and her approach to science is fantastic – a model that I will continue to look to and attempt to emulate in my own career. I’ve grown as a scientist and as a thoughtful human under her influence. I thank collaborators that have provided support, materials, and expertise for projects: Carla Cáceres, Craig Williamson, and Erin Overholt. I’m especially grateful to Spencer Hall for challenging me to write more cleanly and to think more deeply and critically about ecological patterns and processes. His profound drive to understand interactions and feedbacks among biological communities, ecosystems, and disease has inspired my own. I’d thank my committee members Aaron King, Ed Ionides, Mark Hunter, and Tim James for help with experimental design, data analysis, and valuable feedback on my research. -

Assistant Professor in the Department of Ecology, Ethology, and Evolution. Affiliate Assistant Professor in the Department of Plant Biology and the Institute for Environmental Studies. Cornell University. 1987-1990. Post-doctoral Associate in evolutionary genetics (S. Via, sponsor). Cornell University. Ph.D. 1988 in the Section of Neurobiology and Behavior (T. Eisner, advisor). Dissertation title: Natural and Sexual Selection in a Fungus Beetle. Harvard College. B.A. cum laude, Biology. 1979. Research Interests: My lab studies the mechanisms by which natural and sexual selection in plants and insects produces (sometimes very rapid) adaptation to a variable environment, as well as possible constraints to this adaptation. To study adaptation and constraint we measure the strength of selection acting in present-day populations and combine this with quantitative and molecular genetic and genomic analyses to predict short-term evolutionary change.
