Herbarium Management

My main duties involve the overall management of the Herbarium operations unit, the database system (BRAHMS) as well as seeing to the needs of our research visitors.

I am also the Graphics editor for the Flora of Singapore.

 

Research Interests 

My principle research interest is to document the amazing macro fungi diversity in Singapore. I work with a number of collaborators from China, Italy, Malaysia, Thailand & Russia as well as encouraging more researchers to take an interest in the study of our material.
