Bamboo tea: reduction of taxonomic complexity and application of DNA diagnostics based on rbcL and matK sequence data
In my current position, I focus on applied plant biodiversity. Biodiversity is described mainly based on one unit of nature: species. I aim to understand the different species concepts in terms of the formation, change, and relationships of these units. I use experience from this basic research to develop alternative authentication methods for specific groups, based on morphological, anatomical, or genetic markers depending on the type of plant material.

Summary
I am an experienced freelancer with a strong background in computer science, biology, and diagnostics.
