Research Interests

The focus of my research is on the taxonomy of angiosperm plant families, particularly the Burseraceae, Calophyllaceae, and Rubiaceae for the Flora of Singapore. I participate in surveys and studies of various local forests and have a working knowledge of local plant species. I will expand my interests into the three families and other woody plants of the Southeast Asian region, with special interest in the Malay Peninsula and Borneo.

  

Current Research

  1. Taxonomic work on the Burseraceae and Calophyllaceae for the Flora of Singapore
  2. Taxonomic work on some genera of Rubiaceae for possible general revision
