I am interested in the evolution, systematics and biogeography of flowering plants, especially Melastomataceae and Campanulaceae. To make my life more complicated, I am also a co-developer of web tools (TOLKIN, BiSciCol and RegNum) that serve the biodiversity and phyloinformatics communities. To top this off, I am generally interested in semantic data integration and interoperability.

Low-copy genes

How can something low makes you feel so high?!  Our first test run with low-copy gene sequences gave excellent (better than expected!) results.  A well resolved topology with great support!  Can't wait to show some results.  We are now working on a paper that focuses on alpine taxa and we will show the first Campanuloideae tree generated with low-copy nuclear genes.
