Biography

Matthew Hall is an Associate Professor at Monash University in the School of Biological Sciences. He completed his PhD at the University of New South Wales in 2009, where he was supervised by Prof. Rob Brooks. Subsequently, he undertook a Marie Curie Fellowship at the University of Basel in Switzerland with Prof. Dieter Ebert and later received a Velux Foundation Fellowship at ETH Zürich. His research group focuses on evolutionary genetics, exploring significant challenges life faces such as sex, death, and disease. Research interests include understanding how host-pathogen genes interact to influence the severity of infectious disease, unraveling the ecology of organisms vis-à-vis evolution, and addressing how sexual dimorphism shapes pathogen virulence. The Hall lab employs a variety of species, particularly Daphnia, to study ecological genomics in natural environments. Matthew teaches BIO2010 - Data Science for Biologists, emphasizing the integration of biological data with computational methods in research.
