Senior Research Leader
My role at Kew is Senior Research Leader of Crops and Global Change. Our team is dedicated to the identification and understanding of the beneficial traits of crops and associated organisms, particularly within the context of environmental stress resilience and climate change.
My research background is in taxonomy and systematics. I now focus on climate change resilience, sustainability, and crop development, with an emphasis on the application of underutilized plant diversity. I mainly work on coffee (Coffea) with a regional focus on tropical Africa and Madagascar.
