I am a freshwater ecologist with a research focus on the ecology and conservation of freshwater ecosystems in Southeast Asia. By integrating fieldwork, statistical analysis, and spatial modelling, I seek to understand the ecological patterns and processes that shape these highly threatened ecosystems. My goal is to generate scientific evidence that supports effective conservation and management of freshwater habitats across the region. ​​
