Assistant Professor at Asian School of the Environment and Principal Investigator at Earth Observatory Singapore, NTU Singapore

I am a land system scientist and I study the socio-ecological drivers, mechanisms and effects of land-use and land-cover change in the tropics. I lead the Coupled Human and Natural Systems Lab where we combine geospatial data with on the ground social and ecological field surveys. My current research interests include sustainability of the palm oil sector, tropical peatland management and restoration, agricultural impacts from natural hazards, and biodiversity and livelihood outcomes from deforestation for agriculture commodities.
