Research summary

William Hemstrom works in population genetics and genomics, studying how genetic diversity, adaptation, and gene flow shape wild populations of animals such as monarch butterflies, sea lamprey, trout, and steelhead salmon. Much of the work involves developing and refining genomic data-analysis tools (e.g., software for filtering and analyzing SNP - single nucleotide polymorphism - genetic marker data) alongside applied conservation genetics case studies. The research combines methodological contributions to genomic data processing with practical questions about species conservation, invasive species management, and evolutionary responses to environmental change.
