CHLOÉ SCHMIDT

Assistant Professor, Dalhousie University​

Chloé likes thinking about how population genetic processes are related to broad-scale patterns of biodiversity, and applying this knowledge to conservation practice and understanding biodiversity responses to global change. Before coming to Dal, Chloé was a senior scientist at the German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research, a postdoc at Yale University, and a student at the University of Manitoba (PhD), the University of Lausanne (MSc), and Rutgers University (BA). When not doing research, Chloé likes making art! See her illustrations and science communication at the link on the left.
