Congratulations to Sean Mullen for his promotion to Professor of Biology. Dr. Mullen is an evolutionary biologist who utilizes genomic tools to investigate the origin and maintenance of the diversity of species. He has garnered significant attention in his field for seminal research on speciation genomics and the adaptive evolution of butterfly wing color, pattern, and mimicry. In his recent work, Mullen has concentrated on the role ecological interactions play in shaping adaptive diversification among neotropical adelpha butterflies. Some of his many achievements include being awarded major NSF grants and publishing over 40 articles in highly-recognized biology journals.

Congratulations Sean!
