Raymond Copeland defended and received his PhD in quantitative biosciences April 25th this year titled “Physical Simulations of Microbial Communities Under Stress” where he investigated how microbes grow, compete, and evolve resistance in complex communities using a combination of computational modeling, mathematics, and imaging. Ray joined the Yunker lab in early 2020 while he was still an undergraduate at Georgia Tech and stayed for graduate school to continue work with Dr Yunker and his friends. He enjoys classical music, chess, video games, and his wife Zoe. Ray remains at Georgia Tech to work as a postdoc with Dr Yunker
