My Research
Natural Historian and Plant Biologist
Note! This page is currently being updated.
My passion is natural history. I am particularly interested in how the structure and function of plants have evolved over hundreds of millions of years and in the interaction between the evolution of life and geochemical changes in the environment. I am also interested in applied plant and microbial biology. For my Ph.D. I worked on molecular biology and evolutionary developmental biology, mainly in conifers but also in flowering plants. I have a broad education including a variety of biological subdiciplines, geosciences and chemistry.
 
Examples of conifer seed cones that I studied as a Ph.D. student are the "juniper berries" of common juniper (Juniperus communis) and the beautiful blue-green seed cones of hiba (Thujopsis dolabrata), both in the Cupressaceae family. Photos: Erika Groth
