Research interests
My current research focus in on 1) genetic mechanisms underlying the adaptation of plants to arid desert environments and 2) the evolution and ecology of the epiphytic lifestyle in non-vascular land plants, i.e., bryophytes. Past research includes the lichen symbiosis and photobiont diversity.
Funded research projects
- PI in the DFG funded CRC1211 B07: Desert transcriptomics: assessing the genetic basis of adaptation to aridity in desert dwellers
- Associated researcher in the DFG funded CRC1211 B01: Biogeographic history of plant communities
- Associated researcher in the BMBF funded FRAMe: Farmer Resilience and Melon Crop Diversity in southern Africa
