Dawson White

Postdoctoral Fellow
Dawson is a botanist and postdoctoral fellow at the Harvard University Herbaria. His work integrates phylogenomic systematics, herbarium-based leaf spectroscopy, and botanical surveys to better characterize floristic, genotypic, and phenotypic dimensions of plant diversity. Taxonomically, Dawson specializes on coca (Erythroxylum) and Dryas (Rosaceae). Geographically, most of his work focuses on northwest South America.
