Cracking the Case: Forensics, Freshman, and FIGs FIG Instructor and Assistant

FIG Instructor: Larry Ulibarri

Dr. Ulibarri is an adjunct lecturer. He spent the past several years in Vietnam conducting research on the behavior and conservation of the red-shanked doucs (Pygathrix nemaeus) and their habitat. His research included the social organization, ranging behavior, activity budgets, nutritional and feeding ecology of the doucs as well as climate, plant phenology, habitat evaluation, road ecology and anthropogenic effects.

His work contributed directly to a local conservation project for the red-shanked doucs at his study site. In close cooperation with the local authorities he and Dr. Ulrike Streicher developed and implemented education and outreach activities as well as measures to improve the conservation of his research population by restoring degraded habitat and setting up canopy bridges. Dr. Ulibarri has a passion for teaching and, having lived for five years in Vietnam, he brings in a strong interest to connect academic research with much needed conservation efforts on the ground.

FIG Assistant: Ava

 Hi guys! My name is Ava (she/her) and I am thrilled to be your FIG assistant this fall! I was in a FIG my freshman year, and I loved it! I am a psychology and sociology major minoring in criminology, and my dream career is to be a Criminal Psychologist/Profiler.

In my free time, I love to read, bake, be outside, hug my dog, and just hang out with friends and family. A few fun facts about me are that I’m originally from Minnesota, but moved to Oregon almost four years ago (I absolutely adore it here), I’m obsessed with Pride and Prejudice, and my celeb crushes are def Sam Claflin and Matthew Gray Gubler.

I am so excited to meet and work with you all in the fall! Always feel free to reach out about anything! :)

FIG Assistant: Olivia

Hello there!! My name is Olivia, and I’m super excited to be your FIG Assistant this year! I am majoring in Environmental Studies with a minor (likely a major soon) in Anthropology. I’m from Portland OR, but I have really enjoyed living in Eugene. I love finding fun activities to explore around the city- like the cat cafe in Springfield!
 

I love dancing, reading, crafting, hiking, birding, swimming, volleyball, video games, and spending time out in the sun (I'm also a huge Star Wars fan). Plus, I’m always looking for something new to try out; so, if you have any recommendations, please send them my way! 
 

I’m looking forward to meeting you all, and I am here to help with whatever! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions, concerns, or just want to chat. Whether it’s about your first term here at UO, classes, resources, or anything at all, I’m happy to help!
