As a plant systematist, I am interested in the origin, pattern, and maintenance of diversity in flowering plants. My lab investigates biodiversity and evolution at different hierarchical scales, from the micro- to macroscopic level, and uses a range of analytical and molecular techniques. Research in my lab spans several disciplines, including methodologies from molecular evolution, systematics, taxonomy, microscopy, population genetics, and ecology.
