Education

Robert Gammariello is pursuing a Ph.D. in Biology at Loma Linda University, focusing on sea turtle ecophysiology and conservation. His dissertation explores the spectral thresholds, color preferences, and ocular anatomy of hawksbill turtle hatchlings. Prior to this, he completed a B.S. in Marine Biology with a Minor in Conservation Biology at UCLA.  His coursework encompassed a diverse suite of scientific disciplines, including ecophysiology, oceanography, GIS for natural sciences, and vertebrate ecology. His undergraduate research contributions included work on climate change during the end-Triassic extinction event using isotope paleothermometry under NASA’s Planetary Data System Fellowship. Throughout both institutions, Robert maintained academic excellence and was active in several honor societies, including Phi Beta Kappa and Mortar Board. This well-rounded academic background has equipped him with the tools to explore marine species behavior in relation to environmental change and to contribute to applied conservation science.

Experience

Robert has an extensive background in marine biology and science education. As a Ph.D. student at Loma Linda University he conducts independent research and serves as a teaching assistant in courses like Marine Biology and Biodiversity. In  he acted as Assistant to the President of the International Sea Turtle Society, organizing the 42nd Symposium in Thailand. Earlier, he worked with ProTECTOR Inc. in Honduras, leading community-based research on sea turtle conservation. Robert volunteered at the Aquarium of the Pacific, educating the public about marine life. At UCLA, he was a teaching assistant across multiple biology courses, while simultaneously contributing to NASA’s research efforts on paleo-temperature reconstruction through isotope analysis. His experiences blend research, education, conservation policy, and public outreach—giving him a unique skill set to impact marine biodiversity conservation on both scientific and community fronts.

Award and Honor

Robert Gammariello has earned numerous academic accolades. At Loma Linda University, he received the Paul Buchheim Award twice and multiple Lathrop Recognitions, acknowledging research excellence. He was also awarded a University Grant. During his undergraduate years at UCLA, Robert made the Dean’s Honor List six times and was inducted into the Phi Beta Kappa, Alpha Lambda Delta, and Phi Eta Sigma honor societies. He was a Mortar Board Academic Committee Co-Chair Beyond academia, he achieved the prestigious Eagle Scout rank from the Boy Scouts of America. Additionally, he was a recipient of the NASA Planetary Data System Fellowship, Boyd Lyon Sea Turtle Fund Scholarship, and the Association of Reptile and Amphibian Veterinarians Conservation Grant. These honors reflect his consistent dedication to scientific rigor, leadership, and contributions to marine biology and conservation.

Research Focus

Robert’s research bridges the disciplines of physiology and conservation biology, with a focus on understanding how sensory ecology influences sea turtle behavior. His doctoral work investigates the spectral light detection, color preferences, and visual anatomy of hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) hatchlings, aiming to inform lighting policy in nesting beaches to reduce hatchling mortality. He examines how light wavelength and intensity influence seafinding behaviors, offering critical insights into human-wildlife interactions in coastal habitats. His early research with NASA included paleoclimate reconstructions using isotope thermometry to analyze extinction events, which laid the foundation for his analytical skills. Now, his conservation-based physiological approach helps develop evidence-based management strategies for marine turtles. Robert’s fieldwork, laboratory analyses, and international presentations position him at the forefront of ecological conservation science, where he is actively shaping conservation policy through physiological research and collaborative field outreach.

Research Skill

Robert is skilled in marine ecological research, dissection techniques, and microscopic slide preparation. Technically proficient, he utilizes R scripts for data analysis and ArcGIS for geospatial ecological modeling. His communication skills are honed through over 500 volunteer hours in public education at the Aquarium of the Pacific, and through teaching assistant roles at Loma Linda University and UCLA. He’s experienced in developing test questions, leading lab sessions, and grading scientific assessments across numerous biology courses. His interdisciplinary approach draws from ecology, physiology, and geobiology, and he has experience with carbonate isotope analysis, particularly in paleoclimate studies. Robert also holds a PADI Open Water Dive Certification and is proficient in American Sign Language (ASL), which enhances his outreach capabilities. With a balance of fieldwork, laboratory precision, and teaching, Robert is equipped to contribute meaningfully to both academic science and applied conservation.
