I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Sesoko Marine Research Station, Tropical Biosphere Research Center, University of the Ryukyus, Japan.
I am a marine ecologist specializing in coral-associated ecosystems, including tropical coral reefs, high-latitude marginal reefs, and mesophotic reefs. My research spans population-, community-, and ecosystem-level processes. I am particularly interested in how population and community structure varies across time and space, how biophysical and anthropogenic drivers shape these populations and communities, and the functional roles they play within their ecosystems. My work encompasses multiple taxonomic groups (e.g., benthic organisms, reef fishes, sea urchins) and employs diverse approaches (e.g., satellite-derived environmental dataset, machine-learning model, and controlled tank experiments) to address these questions.
