Associate Professor
My primary interests are in the systematics, natural history, and evolution of angiosperms. I specialize in the Melastomataceae, focusing on the classification and phylogenetics of the family as a whole and some tribes and genera in particular, plus biogeography, morphology, anatomy, seeds, plant-animal interactions, biodiversity, and conservation. My current research also encompasses floristics of the southeastern USA and the Philippines.
