Personal profile

Biography

I am a conservation and evolutionary biologist with broad interests in both theoretical and applied research. Theoretical research allows me to explore fundamental scientific questions in depth and anticipate emerging challenges, while applied research enables me to produce timely, practical outputs that inform conservation action and policymaking. I am particularly interested in revealing the complex interactions among humans, wildlife, and the environment through a molecular lens. By integrating emerging and underexplored data sources, frontier technologies, and state-of-the-art analytical tools, I seek to conduct innovative, interdisciplinary research that supports evidence-based solutions. Ultimately, I hope my work will contribute to a future in which healthy and sustainable human societies can thrive alongside biodiversity-rich environments.
