Research Statement: My research focuses on the ecological dynamics of tropical forest-savanna mosaics in Southeast Asia using remote sensing and field-based methods. I am interested in the use of historical aerial imagery to understand landscape stability and vegetation shifts in response to management practices and climate change. I am also interested in understanding the mechanisms that maintain abrupt boundaries between forests and savannas, with the goal to help inform management practices that support livelihoods and biodiversity.
