Alexander Schmidt-Lebuhn
My research interests include the systematics and evolution of flowering plants, in particular of Asteraceae (daisy family), biogeography, user-friendly plant identification tools including AI image recognition, and polyploidy. I studied biology at the University of Göttingen, Germany, and obtained a doctorate with research on the South American mint genus Minthostachys. After postdoctoral work at the University of Halle and the University of Zürich I joined CSIRO in 2010.
