In the summer of 2024, they participated in the Research Experiences for Undergraduates program at UMES, working with mentors Kayland Huckaby and Dr. Paulinus Chigbu. Their research focused on examining the relationship between the trophic ecology of four groundfish species from the Mississippi and Alabama Gulf Coast and their potential connection to environmental factors through fatty acid analysis. Post-graduation, Zhaniya plans to pursue a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, and Biochemistry, with a focus on the conservation of marine species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wwwcp.umes.edu\/lmrcsc\/research-themes\/\">Research theme<\/a>: Stock Assessment<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NOAA LMRCSC Fellows attain the NOAA Core Competencies detailed in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/wwwcp.umes.edu\/lmrcsc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/101\/2024\/02\/NOAA-Core-competency-rubric.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this rubric<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Academic Advisors:&nbsp;<\/strong>Dr. Paulinus Chigbu<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-color-bg-alt-color has-css-opacity has-color-bg-alt-background-color has-background is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/wwwcp.umes.edu\/lmrcsc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/101\/2022\/10\/LMRCSC-Logo100.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wwwcp.umes.edu\/lmrcsc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/101\/2022\/10\/LMRCSC-Logo100.png 100w, https:\/\/wwwcp.umes.edu\/lmrcsc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/101\/2022\/10\/LMRCSC-Logo100-50x50.png 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NOAA Living Marine Resources Cooperative Science Center<br>University of Maryland Eastern Shore (Lead Institution)<br>(410) 651-7870<br>Award numbers: FY 2021 Award #NA21SEC4810005<br>Funding Agency:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.noaa.gov\/office-education\/epp-msi\">NOAA Educational Partnership Program (EPP\/MSI)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NOAA-EPP LMRCSC&nbsp;Undergraduate FellowB.S., Environmental Science &#8211; Marine ScienceUniversity of Maryland Eastern Shore Zhaniya Harris is an undergraduate student pursuing a B.S. in Environmental Science with a concentration in Marine Science at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES).
