Andrew Muir

Andrew Muir is a Lecturer in the Ecosystem Science and Management department at the School of Environmental and Forest Sciences, University of Washington. His research focuses on aquatic ecosystems, particularly around lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush), fish passage technologies, and environmental management of the Great Lakes.

• Education:
  • Ph.D. from Purdue University
  • M.Sc. and B.Sc. from University of Guelph, Ontario

His recent publications examine lake charr phenotypes, fish passage challenges, and invasive species control. Current work involves genomic analysis of lake trout and environmental adaptation studies.

Andrew's research integrates evolutionary biology, aquatic ecology, and environmental engineering to solve fisheries management problems. The FishPass Project (2022) exemplifies his innovative approach to selective fish sorting inspired by recycling technology.
