General Research Interests

• Inventory and systematics of the Malagasy flora (special taxonomic interests: Pandanaceae and Sapindaceae).

• Biogeography of occidental Indian Ocean (specially Madagascar) using ecological, molecular and systematics tools.

• Using botanical data to evaluate endemism and better conserve the remaining forests in this biodiversity hotspot.

Research Emphases

• Red Listing and Plant Conservation in Madagascar and Mauritius.

• Systematic and biogeography of Pandanaceae and Sapindaceae

• Understanding the biogeography of Madagascar: botanical exploration of the the humid Northern highlands and the far dry North.
