Research interests
Systematics and phylogeny of Papaveraceae
Historical biogeography and evolution of the European Alpine flora
The focus of my research is the evolution of the flora of the Alps and other European high mountain ranges. The majority of current projects looks into different aspects of hybridization and hybrid speciation.
