My scientific interests include phylogeny and systematics of lichens. Currently we study cetrarioid and usneoid taxa in the family Parmeliaceae which is the biggest family of lichenized fungi, containing ca 80 genera and 2700 species. We use molecular markers for the phylogenetic analyses but evaluate also morphological and chemical characters.

I am also interested in the species composition of Estonian lichen biota, rare taxa and lichen conservation. In the framework of different projects (e.g. KeyToNature), we have compiled identification keys for lichens in Estonia but also for certain groups worldwide.

I am involved in the project "Specific and integrated questions in ecology, taxonomy and biogeography of mycorhizal and lichenized fungi" (2008–2013, leader of the project U. Kõljalg), and I'm leading the project of the Estonian Science Foundation no 9109 "Testing morphology-based taxonomy of lichenized fungi using molecular markers, with consequences for ecological studies (2012–2015). I belong to the Editorial Board of the journal "Folia Cryptogamica Estonica" being responsible for lichenological contributions.
