REBECCA SMITH, Ph.D.
Population Genomics | Applied Conservation

Hi, I'm Rebecca! 👋

I'm a conservation geneticist fascinated by the stories hidden in DNA. From cold-water mountain streams to salty seas and ocean dreams, I use genomic data to understand population structure, investigate how populations adapt to changing environments, and inform conservation and management.

Research

Brook Trout

My dissertation research used population genetics and genomics to evaluate the outcomes of mixed-source restorations of native Brook Trout in Great Smoky Mountains National Park and investigate the evolutionary history of fragmented and isolated populations.
