Research interests

- Evolutionary history of Australian arid flora

Currently, I am working on the integration and optimization of different NGS-based methods (llddRAD, hyRAD, and HybSeq) to address the technical issues associated with herbarium phylogenomics of rapidly and/or recently diverging polyploid plant lineages. My study subjects are taxonomically challenging and species-rich Australian Amaranthaceae, including Atriplex, Chenopodium, Dysphania, and Tecticornia. My research projects are funded through the DFG priority program SPP 1991, "New Approaches to Discovering and Naming Biodiversity: Taxon-omics."
