Research Interests
I am interested in the study of tropical plant science with emphasis in paleobotany, systematics and evolution.
Current Research
Specifically I am working, in the early angiosperms fossil record, its relation with molecular phylogenies, biogeographic reconstructions and diversification process in the Neotropics
