Suchana Costa is a fifth year PhD candidate working with Dr. Chris Field in the Biology Department at Stanford. Her research focus is differential herbivory on nitrogen-fixing plants across various systems. Her work integrates field experiments, software design, and meta-analyses to rigorously look at this classic ecological dynamic. Suchana grew up in Bangladesh and DC, and holds an A.B. from Princeton University, where she researched similar questions in the tropical rainforests of Panama.
