Joyce Goh is a third-year undergraduate student at UCLA, majoring in Environmental Science with a minor in Statistics and Data Science. She is currently conducting research under the guidance of Dr. Robert Eagle, Maxence Guillermic, and Kira Fish, focusing on coral and coral algae growth and the impacts of climate change. Her research projects include studying the influence of irradiance and interspecific differences on chemical signatures in carbonate from coralline algae complexes, as well as examining trace element incorporation in scleractinian corals cultured at varying temperatures and pCO2 levels.
Passionate about collaboration and diversity in science, Joyce values the CDLS fellowship for its emphasis on working together to improve society. She believes diverse perspectives drive innovation and that STEM serves as a universal language to advance knowledge.
Outside the lab, Joyce is the Chief of Programming at the UCLA Community Service Commission, organizing events like Volunteer Day and the Service Impact Summit. With a lifelong curiosity about the world, Joyce aspires to contribute to carbon science and work on reducing carbon emissions. She enjoys hiking, running, bouldering, and solo travel, and brings a global perspective to her work, having grown up in Singapore.
