LIVE MY DREAMS
Life, Teaching, and Research
I am interested in multiple fields of study, including ecotone theory, systems dynamics modeling, environmental risk analysis, material flow and city metabolism analyses. Of these, my research interests focus on the population dynamics and distribution patterns of organisms in relation to changes in ecological system causing by either nature or human activities (e.g., urbanization, shoreline development, and agriculture) or both. I prefer to address research problems through an empirical or modeling method or both that may help resources managers to evaluate and minimize impacts and maximize the health of an ecological system at either the local or regional scale. My research backgrounds were about population dynamics of fish assemblages in different aquatic systems and fish distribution patterns in relation to changing habitat conditions.
Rather than emphasizing a single species, I prefer to address the fundamental effects of changes in space on multiple species in terms of their population structures, distribution, diversity, and stability. I am deeply concerned about how dynamic changes in space can govern an ecological system, or what insights these changes may give about the causes of broad-scale ecological patterns.
