Senior Research Leader
I lead the Conservation Assessment and Analysis team in Kew’s Conservation Science Department. Our focus is primarily at species level, utilising Kew’s outstanding collections, particularly herbarium specimens, to help inform conservation action by developing and applying suitable analytical methods to enhance prioritisation, improve Red List assessments and to understand and monitor the status of the world’s plants.
