Research Interests

1.Ethnobotanical investigation and documentation, and evaluation of traditional botanical knowledge

Integrated investigation, documentation and digitization of traditional botanical knowledge, through multidisciplinary approaches including ethnobotany, cultural anthropology, taxonomy, ecology, participatory rural appraisal (PRA); Scientific evaluation for traditional botanical knowledge, traditional genetic resources and ethnotaxa, through the approaches of molecular biology etc.; and impacts of human dimension on plant diversity.

2. Taxonomy of Symplocaceae

By integrating multidiscipline evidences, including Morphological character, Leaf epidermal micro-morphology, Palynology, Numerical taxonomy and Molecular systematic, to make species delimitation in Symplocaceae, and discuss the infrafamilial and infrageneric classification.
