I am a herpetologist, but would rather call myself as a biodiversity researcher, with amphibians and reptiles (particularly frogs) from Indonesia and the Southeast Asian regions as my focal taxa.

My past and current research projects are mainly within the topic of phylogenetic and systematics (including species descriptions) using integrative approaches (see my publications for more details). However, I am interested in understanding the whole aspects of my taxa of interests and how they link or correlate to each other (e.g., how geological history influence the current distribution patterns of the species, how microhabitats and diets are shaping the evolution of morphological characters, how is the interaction dynamics between and within species). Thorough investigation of the species would definitely help to properly design conservation actions in the more effective and efficient ways.
