It has been over a decade now that I have been involved in this field, and my research interest is in the taxonomy, diversity, speciation and phylogeography of herpetofauna in this region.

Apart from working locally in Malaysia, I also, collaborate on research projects and conduct field work in neighboring countries in the surrounding region such as China, Singapore, Cambodia and Myanmar. In the past decade, my colleagues and I have discovered more than 50 species of amphibians and reptiles that were new to science around the region. .
