Cheryl A. Zimmer is a conservation biologist whose research interests are focused marine population ecology, specifically the role of hydrodynamics as a driving force in the evolution of marine life.
Education and career
Zimmer has a B.A. (1976) and an M.A. (1980) from San Jose State University (1976).[1] She earned her Ph.D. in 1984 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where she worked with J. Frederick Grassle.[1][2] From 1986 to 2000, Zimmer was a scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution;[1] as of 2021 she is a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles where she runs the Zimmer Lab, in collaboration with her husband and colleague Richard Zimmer.[3]
