Dr. Miller received his Ph.D. in Biology from University of Oregon and is now an Assistant Professor of Population and Quantitative Genetics in the Department of Animal Science and Center for Watershed Sciences at University of California (UC), Davis. His research group is broadly interested in developing and applying genetics methods to solve problems in environmental and agricultural sciences. Much of their work focuses on characterizing demography and adaptation in Pacific salmon and trout with the goal of improving conservation, management, and restoration programs. In this seminar, Dr. Miller will cover his contribution to the broad field of genomics from his novel method for low-cost genotyping large populations by Next Generation Sequencing called Restriction site Associated DNA (RAD) sequencing
