Tom Booker principal investigator (email: thomas.booker [at] ubc [dot] ca).

Tom is an assistant professor in the Department of Forest and Conservation Sciences in the Faculty of Forestry at UBC. His research uses population genomics and evolutionary biology to study adaptation.

He did his postdoctoral research with Mike Whitlock (UBC) and Sam Yeaman (U. Calgary). Tom got his PhD from the University of Edinburgh, working with Peter Keightley and Brian Charlesworth. He did the MSc in Quantitative Genetics and Genome Analsis at the University of Edinburgh under the supervision of Deborah Charlesworth. He did an undergraduate degree in Ecology at the University of Stirling.

Tianlin Duan is a postdoctoral researcher using population genomic simulations to study the genomic footprints that the evolution of local adaptation leaves behind. Before coming to UBC, Tianlin did her PhD at the University of Uppsalla with Martin Lascoux.
