PhD Graduate
I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Invertebrate Zoology, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC. I utilize molecular techniques to investigate cryptic biodiversity on coral reefs.

Scientists have revealed the torrid, adulterous love lives of the mouth-brooding cardinalfish, with cuckoldry going hand-in-hand with cannibalism of the young.“This is a small and unassuming cor

New research has revealed that the short lives and violent deaths of some of coral reefs’ smallest tenants may be vital to the health of reef systems, including the iconic Great Barrier Reef.Dr
China’s extraordinary economic development over recent decades has had enormous impacts on coastal marine ecosystems, including extensive, coastal coral reefs in the southern provinces. With around
