Summary
Matthew Hamilton is an Associate Professor in biology with nine years of formal experience and a long research trajectory in population genetics, molecular evolution, and mathematical biology grounded in a PhD from Brown and a Smithsonian postdoc. He combines simulation modeling and empirical fieldwork on wild species with a strong record of teaching core and advanced courses in evolution and genetics. At Georgetown he has blended research leadership with substantial administrative impact—founding an environmental biology major, directing an REU site, chairing curriculum committees, and steering the campus environment initiative. Comfortable with computational and data-science approaches, he translates theoretical models into testable predictions and hands-on conservation studies. An engaging science communicator who has contributed to museum exhibits and outreach, he brings both deep quantitative rigor and practical stewardship to evolutionary research and education.
