Research Interests

​Shannon's previous research focused on the radiole damage and regeneration of feather duster worms; in addition, she worked on a long-term benthos study in the Caribbean. At KAUST, Shannon hopes to continue her work with marine invertebrates, while potentially delving into the world of genetics and taxonomy.
