Aaron Lee
Postdoctoral Fellow, Organismic and Evolutionary Biology
Aaron Lee is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology. He is a botanist and plant systematist interested in understanding how the dynamic relationships between plant ecology and evolution produce and influence plant diversity today. His research uses interdisciplinary approaches, such as genomics, spectral biology, and machine learning, but is rooted in natural history collections, such as herbaria, and in developing a deep, multifaceted understanding of a focal group of closely related organisms.
Aaron holds a PhD from the University of Minnesota and a BS from The College of New Jersey.
The Salata Institute
The Salata Institute supports interdisciplinary research that leads to real-world action, including high-risk/high-reward projects by researchers already working in the climate area and new endeavors that make it easier for Harvard scholars, who have not worked on climate problems, to do so. Faculty interested in the Climate Research Clusters program should note an upcoming deadline for concepts on April 1, 2024.
