RESEARCH
INTERESTS

The main goal of my research is to conceptually unite field-based exploration of biodiversity and comparative biology to understand the processes responsible for the generation and maintenance of global biodiversity.

Most of my research projects fall within three broad areas of the biological sciences: Systematics, Evolution and Conservation.
