Former Undergraduate Researchers

Hayley Miller
Hayley graduated from the USC Honors College in 2017 with a B.S. in Biological Sciences and a minor in Chemistry. Her work in the Speiser Lab provided the first experimental evidence that the unique mirror-based eyes of scallops have a pupillary response. She also worked to characterize the muscles in the eyes of scallops that might control pupil constriction and dilation. She is currently attending the University of South Carolina School of Medicine at Greenville where she will graduate in the Class of 2021.
