	Matt received his Ph.D. in Biology from Loma Linda University, where he studied the relationship between raccoon ecology and parasitism from raccoon roundworm. While he studied parasitology, he developed expertise in both molecular biology and ecological principles. Matt&rsquo;s research provided models for predicting where disease is most prevalent, and how parasites are transmitted. Matt&rsquo;s publications have appeared in the <em>International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife</em>, and the conference proceedings of the <em>American Society of Mammalogists </em>and the <em>American Society of Parasitologists</em>.</p>

	While not in the classroom or lab, Matt enjoys camping with his family. He and his wife, Jordan, have three children, Reagan, Liam, and Madison. The Ingles currently live in southern California, and enjoy all of the various ecosystems to explore within hiking distance.</p>
