Dr. Tyler Imfeld
Assistant Professor, Biology
Dr. Imfeld is both an alumnus and now faculty member of Xavier University's Department of Biology. He earned his B.S. from Xavier in 2013 and his Ph.D. in Ecology, Evolution and Behavior from the University of Minnesota in 2020. Dr. Imfeld's expertise lies at the intersection of molecular phylogenetics and evolutionary biology, and his research explores the patterns and processes, both large and small, that shape the global biodiversity of songbirds. He currently teaches General Biology and Genetics and is developing new courses focused on genomics and its intersections with many fields of biology. Dr. Imfeld has also taught field courses in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and in Costa Rica, and he looks forward to teaching these and similar courses at Xavier.
Dr. Imfeld's research with students extensively uses biological collections at natural history museums around the country to collect genetic and ecological data. He has held and currently holds research associate positions at the Bell Museum and the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. He also integrates these collections into his teaching and community outreach to showcase their scientific value and the wonder they can inspire in learners of all ages.
