Research

I work on the evolution, ecology and systematics of lichen symbioses. Currently, I am interested on lichens with cyanobacterias as photobiont. I use modern genomics with traditional morphological methods to evaluate delimitation on species and generic level. I am also very interested in the diversity of Scandinavian's lichens and as an expert on genus Cladonia and becoming expert on family Collemataceae I would be able to discuss the questions with conservation importance in the future.
