¡Bienvenidos! Welcome!
--- I'll be updating my website soon. Keep your eyes open for the Lago Lab website!---

I am a botanist and evolutionary biologist. I use the Neotropical bellflowers (Campanulaceae: Lobelioideae) as a model system in a diverse range of projects, from alpha taxonomy to the study of rapid diversification in the Andes, the world's most species-rich biodiversity hotspot. 

​I am also an Assistant Professor in the Biological Sciences Department at Louisiana State University and Director ​of the Shirley C. Tucker Herbarium at LSU.
