Short presentation
I am associate professor with a research focus on the systematics, evolution and historical biogeography of ferns and lycopods.
As one of the departments Director of studies, my main responsibility is pedagogical development.
I teach mainly plant diversity and evolution as well as systematic theory and phylogenetic analysis.
