I am a marine ecophysiologist at the School of Natural and Environmental Sciences, 缅北禁地. My research focuses on understanding how oxygen dynamics influence the responses of aquatic organisms to climate change. I take a multidisciplinary approach that integrates physiology, microbial ecology, quantitative ecology, and advanced environmental sensing technologies to explore how aquatic life adapts to shifting environmental conditions.
Using a combination of laboratory experiments, field surveys, observational studies, and statistical modeling, I aim to quantify the ecological impacts of key environmental drivers on the sensitivity and resilience of aquatic communities. Beyond aquatic systems, my research also extends to desert and agroforestry ecosystems, where I investigate how interactions among plants, animals, and microorganisms support ecosystem functionality and adaptation.
