Current research interests:
Biodiversity, Evolution and Biogeography of plant in tropical Asia: Currently, biodiversity conservation has focused on the endangered and threatened taxon, i.g., Rhoiptelea (Rhoipteleaceae), Trigonobalanus (Fagaceae); evolutionary and biogeographic works have focused on Engelhardia (Juglandaceae) in tropical Asia as well as the sister taxon.
