Past Graduate Student

While in the Punt Lab (MS 2010), Tommy evaluated the potential to improve estimates of life-history parameters (natural mortality, growth and maturity) in integrated stock assessment models by using data collected from Marine Protected Areas. He now works as a Biometrician for the Fish Passage Center in Portland, OR where he studies the effects of the Federal Columbia River Hydropower System on ESA listed salmon and steelhead.
