Matt is a Senior Principal Investigator in the Conservation and Research Department, overseeing the botanical research program and natural history collections.

Matt Guilliams, Ph.D., is the Ken and Shirley Tucker Plant Systematist and Curator of the Clifton Smith Herbarium at Santa Barbara Botanic Garden. As a botanist and evolutionary biologist, he studies the flora of California with an emphasis on the plants of the Central Coast and California Channel Islands. His research includes floristics, biodiversity description, inferring evolutionary relationships, and conservation genetics of rare plants. Matt earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in evolutionary biology from San Diego State University and his doctorate in integrative biology from University of California, Berkeley. He has been working as a botanist in the state since 1998.
