“I am a lecturer at the Department of Biology in Burapha University in Chonburi. A part from teaching, I conduct the research on the Taxonomy of bryophytes, especially liverworts. My interest on bryophytes started when I was a sophomore at Chiang Mai University in Chiang Mai. I submitted a proposal to the Biodiversity Research and Training program of Thailand and got the financial support to study the bryophytes of Kun Wang community forest. Being a TYSA member, it provides a great opportunity to share my research experience and contribute to the science community.”
