The ecological processes that shape the distribution of species along environmental gradients and across evolutionary time scales is still a fundamental question in evolutionary ecology. My research centers on the phylogenetic structure of plant communities, and employs the integration of modern phylogenetic and ecological niche modeling techniques to describe the mechanisms of plant distributions and community assembly in space and time.

My research interest in the evolution of plant communities is closely linked with my background in plant ecology and conservation biology.
