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