E.F. Dias obtained her PhD in Biology at the University of the Azores (2018), with a final thesis entitled “Conservation of Lactuca watsoniana Trelease, an Azorean priority species: Phylogenetics, Population Genetics and Propagation”.  

The main research interests concern the biodiversity, biology, genetic relationships, propagation methodologies and conservation regarding endemic Azorean taxa. Particularly interested in understanding diversity and island biogeographic patterns and the role of ecological and historical factors in shaping those pattern. She has published several articles in international journals such as Plant Systematics and Evolution, Seed Science & Technology, Phytotaxa, AOB Plants, among others.
