Role
Marie Curie Outgoing International Fellow on the HOTMED project: Evolutionary origin of biodiversity hotspots with a Mediterranean climate. Shared between the Royal Botanic Gardens and Domain Trust, Sydney, and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, HOTMED will create an international multidisciplinary network of partners to study and compare the origins of biodiversity in Southwest Australia, the Cape Floristic Region, and Central Chile. Additional research interests include: angiosperm phylogeny, morphological evolution, molecular phylogenetics and palaeobotany.
