Brecht Verstraete

I am an evolutionary botanist with a background in taxonomic, phylogenetic, and biogeographic research and a focus on African Rubiaceae. I obtained a PhD on plant-bacteria interactions at KU Leuven in Belgium and held postdocs at KU Leuven, Meise Botanic Garden, and the Natural History Museum of Denmark.

I am a senior advisor for Plant.ID, a H2020-MSCA-ITN, and support the partners and students with administration and organization.

I am also editor in chief at Plant Ecology and Evolution and we are always happy to receive contributions in plant ecology, phylogenetics, and systematics.
