I am a botanist trained at the universities of Hamburg (Germany) and Aarhus (Denmark). Now I am an Associate Professor at Aarhus University, and an Honorary Research Associate at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (UK). I am broadly interested in the evolution and geographic distribution of plant diversity, and study these subjects mostly using phylogenomics and spatial statistics. I have a special interest in places with very high plant diversity, such as the Cape of South Africa, tropical rainforests, or mountains. The plant group I know most about are the palms (Arecaceae).
