Professional Biography
Dr. Wei Gong got her Ph.D. degree in Zhejiang University, 2007, and visited Heidelberg University from 2006 to 2007. The major research is to investigate the biogeography and demography of plant species in subtropical evergreen broadleaved forest in southern China or with disjunct distribution in Northern Hemisphere. Various genomic techniques and data analysis methods are used. Interest also exists in other aspects of plant evolutionary biology.
Area of Expertise
Botany, Philogeography, Biogeography, Evolution, Genomics
