Hillary Dugan, PhD – UW-Madison
Hilary is an Assistant Professor in Integrative Biology at UW-Madison. Her education consists of a BS and an MS, both from Queen’s University (Ontario Canada), and a Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Chicago, 2014. Her previous position at UW-Madison was as a Postdoctoral Fellow, in the Center for Limnology. “I was always fascinated by earth sciences, and how ecosystems worked. During my undergrad, I worked as a research assistant in the Canadian Arctic and fell in love with fieldwork and studying global change. At some point, my interests narrowed to water, and eventually lakes. Having grown up around lakes, this was probably a natural progression, but it took me a while to get there.”
