About Matt Smith

Matt's research focuses on population genetics and genomics. He is collaborating on projects designed to evaluate genetic and ecological interactions between hatchery and wild fish, explore spatial patterns of genetic divergence of threatened and endangered species, and develop genetic management goals for a conservation hatchery. Using principles, theories, and techniques of molecular and population genetics, Matt provides technical coordination and general advice to other professionals, agencies, tribal groups, and educational institutions to solve resource management problems and conserve the genetic diversity of natural populations.
