I work in biology, with research interests ranging from plant ecology and biogeography to molecular phylogenetics and biodiversity informatics. I live in West Kalimantan (Borneo), Indonesia, and try to help conserve the magnificent forests of Southeast Asia, and to build local scientific capacity. I am employed by the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University. I also advise a combined health and conservation project (ASRI; cf. HiH) focused on the nearby Gunung Palungnational park.
