Steve Hovick, PhD, 2009. Currently Senior Research Associate, Ohio State University.
Steve Hovick conducted his dissertation research on invasion biology in collaboration with Peterson and Walter Carson at the University of Pittsburgh. That work tested hypotheses about competition and dominance, how invasions may be facilitated by nutrient enrichment and how intrinsic biological traits can be used to predict invasion potential in plants. He moved from UGA to Rice University where he worked in the EEB Department as a postdoctoral associate with Ken Whitney. While at Rice, Steve’s research focused on the role that interspecific hybridization and population genetic diversity may play in facilitating invasions. He has continued these interests into his current position as a Senior Research Associate at The Ohio State University.
