Nina Rønsted (Nina Astrid Helene Rønsted ) is a Danish
botanist , who is Director of Science and Conservation at The
National Tropical Botanical Garden ,
Hawaii .
Following completion of her PhD in
Pharmaceutical Science she worked as a postdoctoral and then international fellow at the
Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (2003–2007), including spending 16 months on
secondment to the Department of Plant Biology,
University of Minnesota US, before returning to work at the University of Copenhagen as an assistant professor in the Department of Medicinal Chemistry (2008–2011). Since 2012 she has been at her current position as an associate professor and since 2015 full professor. In 2019 she was appointed as Director of Science and Conservation at The
National Tropical Botanical Garden (NTBG) in Kalāheo,
Hawaii on the island of
Kauaʻi .
[3] She is known for her work on the
taxonomy and
phylogeny of
monocotyledons .
