I am generally interested in plant evolution, ecology and biosystematics. In particular, I am fascinated by the role of polyploidy and hybridization to ecological adaptation and speciation processes. I am also interested in phylogeography and conservation genetics, particularly of high-mountain plants.
I did my Ph.D. in plant evolution and systematics of the polyploid complex Veronica subsect. Pentasepalae. My current postdoc project focuses on population genomics and biosystematics of Arabidopsis arenosa and Cardamine amara polyploid complexes. I combine extensive field sampling with flow cytometry, ecological and NGS data to study ecological adaptation and plant speciation within these groups.
