Originally from Wales in the United Kingdom, Parker is a lifelong entomologist who transformed a childhood interest in beetles into his laboratory’s research program. He obtained a B.Sc. in zoology from Imperial College London, a Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge and the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology, and was a postdoctoral fellow at Columbia University before joining Caltech in 2017. His lab is pioneering the study of rove beetles and their interactions with social insects to understand how relationships between species emerge during evolution.
