ABOUT ME

I'm an ecologist with a diverse background currently working on tropical coral reef ecosystems in South and Southeast Asia with the Coral Reef Eco-Geomorphology (CREG) Lab at NTU in Singapore. I am generally interested in applying ecological theory to natural ecosystems to determine how interactions between organisms and their environment give rise to emergent properties, like ecosystem services, and how these processes might be affected by climate change.
