Robert Cuddy

Robert “Bert” Cuddy is a masters student in the Brady lab pursuing a degree in marine biology. Originally from Hudson, Massachusetts, Bert came to Maine to study botany but soon realized he preferred the sea. He has never regretted the switch. As an undergrad, Bert worked in the Brady lab as an intern studying the effects of induced sediment and algal loads on feeding characteristics of Atlantic Scallop. After completing his undergraduate in marine science in 2020, he immediately jumped into a master program. His current research focuses using feeding characteristics of Atlantic scallops to improve site selection for scallop farmers. However, he hopes to expand his studies into other commercially important GOM bivalves as well. When he isn’t working you will find him fishing, playing guitar, or fixing his jeep.
