Matthew W. Hahn studies how genomes evolve across species and populations, focusing on the methods used to reconstruct evolutionary relationships (phylogenetics) and detect processes like gene flow, recombination, and adaptation. His work combines computational and statistical modeling with genetic data, including developing software tools and applying machine learning to build and interpret evolutionary trees. Study systems range from phytoplankton and rockfishes to lemurs and mitochondrial genomes.
