Rachel Hamrock, B.Sc.

At OSU my research focuses on hybrid cetaceans, cognition, and communication. I am fortunate to have previous research experience that led me to San Diego, California and Greece where I studied bottlenose, striped, and common dolphin populations in the Gulf of Corinth. This past year I had the amazing opportunity to learn operant conditioning training techniques at two wonderful marine mammal facilities. It is my goal to train cetaceans while simultaneously researching and expanding our knowledge on them.
