PATRICK HART

I have been a faculty member of the UH Hilo Biology Department and the TCBES Graduate Program since 2005 and have been conducting research in behavioral ecology, community ecology, and conservation of Hawaiian forests and forest birds since I started graduate school at UH Mānoa in 1991. Please see the research pages on this website to get a better idea of the range of ecological questions we address through our lab.

GRADUATE STUDENTS

The Big Island of Hawaii is internationally recognized as an excellent natural biological lab, making UH Hilo wonderfully situated for graduate students interested in conducting ecological research. Please visit the Tropical Conservation Biology and Environmental Sciences (TCBES) graduate program at UH Hilo website. Most years I am a primary advisor for seven to nine graduate students, many focusing on the use of bioacoustics as a tool to address a variety of ecological questions. I am not currently looking for new graduate students but am always willing to creatively discuss future possibilities!

UNDERGRADUATE OPPORTUNITIES

We strive to create a good environment for undergraduates to get research experience. The type of research conducted in the lab is well-suited for undergraduate internships and Directed Studies projects. There are also various opportunities at UH Hilo for undergraduate research experiences, such as through the Pacific Internship Programs for Exploring Science (PIPES) program.
