• Interests: Botany, plant evolution, systematics, taxonomy, phylogenetics. Evolution of endemic Hawaiian Vaccinium (blueberries): origin and dispersal, subsequent speciation and population movement in diverse biogeographical conditions, examining conditions under which plants have adapted to extreme change rapidly. I am curious to compare morphological and ecological patterns of diversification to a molecular phylogeny of this group, hoping to reveal genetic relationships to local adaptions, exposing drivers of evolution.

• Interests: As an early-stage graduate student, my research interests still spans across a very broad range. When starting off my career as a researcher I was enthusiastic of doing laboratory and field based research on animal physiology and climate resilience. Now my interests are more inclined towards dry lab based bioinformatics, involving evolutionary biology and computational phylogenomics of biological communities.
