West has been pivotal in raising the profile of Australian plant systematics through her ongoing participation on multiple national and international associations and committees.
West's research centres on plant systematics of Australian plants, in particular morphological and breeding system evidence in combination with molecular data. West is proactive in sharing her research so as to incorporate the knowledge into interactive identification packages of nationally significant groups, including eucalypts, legumes, grevilleas, orchids and tropical rainforest plants.[2]
In 2001, West was awarded the Nancy T Burbidge Medal by the Australian Systematic Botany Society for longstanding and significant contribution to Australian systematic botany.[1]
In 2003, West was awarded an Officer of the Order of Australia for service to the advancement of botanical science and research, particularly in the field of plant systematics, to science administration and policy development, and to the establishment of Australia's Virtual Herbarium.[3]
1989 – 1996 – Senior Principal Research Scientist and Program Leader of the Australian Flora Resources and Management program, CSIRO Plant Industry, Canberra.
