Livia has a PhD from the University of Stockholm in systematics and biogeography of the genus Gunnera (Gunneraceae). Livia's current research at the Swedish Museum of Natural History is in two parts: 1) the diversity and evolution of the family Proteaceae; and 2) an investigation of fossil flowers from New Zealand.
