Person

Udovicic, Frank (1966 - )

Born
1966
Occupation
Botanist and Phylogenetic systematist

Summary

Frank Udovicic was the first molecular systematist to be appointed to the National Herbarium of Victoria. His research is on the phylogeny and classification of Australian plants with a strong emphasis on molecular phylogenetics of eucalypts and other genera in the family Myrtaceae. In 2003 he became Manager, Plant Sciences, at the Herbarium.
