Dr. Thomas Booker
Assistant Professor
Department of Forest and Conservation Sciences
Dr. Tom Booker is an evolutionary geneticist studying forest trees. By understanding how species have evolved to tolerate the variable conditions of life, we hope to understand how they may be conserved into the future. His research draws on population and quantitative genetics, bioinformatics, statistics and ecology.
