Research Interests
My research focuses on understanding the importance of bioactive trace metals, such as iron, zinc, and manganese, in the growth and physiology of endosymbiotic dinoflagellates, Symbiodiniaceae. Particular interest lies in the iron (Fe) requirement in Symbiodiniaceae for its roles in acclimation responses to environmental stresses, including heat and high-light stress. Based on my previous experiences in mineral nutrition and trace metal homeostasis in plants and algae, using different model species of Symbiodiniaceae, I am interested in investigating the Fe-regulatory mechanisms in endosymbiotic dinoflagellates against coral bleaching process under global warming.
