Research interests:

• Plant systematics:
  Phylogenetics/-omics of Urtica and Hypericum, integrated alpha- and higher-level taxonomy of Hypericum
• Biodiversity:
  Global biodiversity patterns in Erica and Hypericum, tropic-alpine ecosystems as biodiversity hotspots (cradles or museums?), phylogeography of ongoing radiations: understanding the “how” the radiation happens.
• Macroevolution:
  Historical biogeography of Erica and Hypericum, niche shifts as drivers of evolution (mainly Hypericum), model selection approaches in phylogenetic frameworks,  diversification dynamics in island systems (diverse clades)
