Tristan Baecklund

Laboratory Demonstrator (Graduate)
tbaecklund@trentu.ca
Ext. @6291

My time at Trent began with completing a B.Sc.F.S (Hons) where I developed an avid interest for wildlife genetics. This led me to complete my Ph.D. under the supervision of Dr. Kyle, investigating signatures of selection associated with disease among fox and bat host species. As the graduate demonstrator, you can find me supporting the Advanced DNA Typing  (5010), Complex Crime Scene Analysis (5040), and any other M.Sc.F.S. courses with laboratory components. Let me know if there is anything I can help you with!

As the Placement Coordinator I am responsible for coordinating the experiential learning that happens outside of regular class hours and off campus. I work with undergraduate and graduate students in the department to help them explore different career options and find networking and placement opportunities. I am always interested in growing my network and exploring new partnerships so please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
