Axes of the research work in the lab

  1. Phylogeny (evolutionary relationships) of ray-finned fishes at both large and small scales

  2. Evolutionary genomics (especially, the studies on species diversification in relation to gene/genome duplications)

  3. Biogeography (with emphasis on marine species from the Indo-West Pacific)

  4. Marine biodiversity exploration (coral reefs and tropic deep-sea benthos)

  5. Marine Conservation

The models currently employed in our research are ray-finned fishes, marine invertebrates, notably shrimps and molluscans
