Profile Summary

I am broadly interested in the research, policymaking, and conservation of biodiversity in Southeast Asia, covering a range of topics including wildlife crime, genetics, and disease ecology. I have 10+ years of experience in these fields and creating novel collaborations in SE Asia and building global research networks and international collaborations. My past research has been competitively funded through the NSF, NIH, and various private funding sources, and the impact of my work has been recognized by honors and awards from professional societies and government agencies.
