Join us in welcoming Matt Smith to the ACEL family! He will begin our PhD program in August with Dr. Joy Rumble and Dr. Jera Niewoehner-Green serving as his co-advisors.
Originally from Alabama, he holds a bachelor of science in fisheries management from Auburn University and a master of science from the University of Arkansas Pine Bluff. He is currently the director of Ohio State Extension’s aquaculture program.
The focus of his program will be on community and extension education and is interested in developing surveys and educational programs related to key water quality parameters.
Welcome Matt!
