Brecht Verstraete

I'm 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'm the project manager of Plant.ID, a H2020-MSCA-ITN, and support the partners and students with administration and organization. I'm also involved in various other projects.

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