Research Interests

I have a special interest in naturalised species and their ecological interactions with native species in Singapore and the ASEAN region, particularly for Malaysia and Indonesia. I am currently documenting the naturalised flora of Singapore, with a view to expand my work to the rest of ASEAN. The current focus of my work also includes taxonomic work on the Cleomaceae, Primulaceae, Loranthaceae and Santalaceae for the Flora of Singapore.

 

 

Current Research and/or Projects

1. Flora of Singapore: Cleomaceae, Primulaceae, Loranthaceae and Santalaceae
2. Naturalised species in Singapore and ASEAN
