Ph.D., University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland; in Biogeography and Systematics, 2003
M.S., University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland; in Ecology and systematics, 1998

General Research Interests

  • Inventory and systematics of the Malagasy flora (special taxonomic interests: Bignoniaceae, Pandanaceae and Sapindaceae)
  • Biogeography of the western Indian Ocean (especially Madagascar) using ecological, molecular and systematic tools
  • Using botanical data to evaluate endemism and better conserve the remaining forests in this biodiversity hotspot

    Research Emphases

  • Systematic, phylogeny and biogeography of Pandanaceae (with S. Buerki, M.O. Laivao and others)
  • Systematic, phylogeny and biogeography of Sapindaceae (with S. Buerki, N. Alvarez, F. Forest, J. Munzinger, P. Lowry, P.B. Phillipson and others)
  • Understanding the biogeography of Northern Madagascar (with L. Gautier, L. Nusbaumer and others).
  • Catalogue of the Vascular Plants of Madagascar, with revisions of selected genera (with P. B. Phillipson, P. Lowry and others)
  • Red Listing and Plant Conservation in Madagascar and Mauritius.
