My research interests are mainly in plant evolution and the factors that influence species diversification. Currently, I am working on the role that whole genome duplications play on plant speciation. Previously, I have studied how islands' geological history affects diversification using wild thyme (Micromeria, Lamiaceae) in the Canary Islands as an example. I have also explored the applications of DNA metabarcoding and high-throughput sequencing, and have worked for many years in the taxonomy and distribution of the Andean genus Calceolaria (Calceolariaceae)
