Mikhail Matz is a Professor at the University of Texas at Austin in the Department of Integrative Biology. His research aims to understand how populations of reef-building corals adapt to variable environmental conditions caused by climate change. He employs ecological approaches in combination with classical quantitative genetics and genomics, including genome-wide genotyping and gene expression studies. His work investigates coral demography through the analysis of population sizes and migration rates, utilizing coalescent-based analyses. Matz is committed to continuously developing new laboratory and bioinformatic methods for genomics of non-model organisms, thereby contributing to the broader understanding of ecological and evolutionary processes in changing environments. His research areas include Climate Change, Evolution, Biodiversity, Ecology, Sustainability, Statistics, Big Data, and Machine Learning.
