Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJP Rippe is a marine biologist and postdoctoral researcher with nine years of experience studying coral physiology and adaptive resilience to climate change, currently working with Dr. Mikhail Matz at UT Austin and serving as a biologist at NOAA. His background bridges rigorous academic research (PhD in Marine Sciences from UNC Chapel Hill) with applied government science through roles at EPA and NOAA, plus policy and analysis experience from The Nature Conservancy and Marstel Day. JP combines field and lab expertise on reef-building corals with a policy-savvy perspective that informs how physiological responses translate to conservation and management outcomes. Based in the Washington DC–Baltimore area, he brings interdisciplinary fluency—spanning molecular ecology to environmental policy—and a history of hands-on roles, including volunteer firefighting, that reflect practical problem-solving under pressure.
