I am an systematic entomologist from Taiwan and moved to Australia to start my PhD in Adam Slipinski’s Lab at Australian National Insect Collection, CSIRO and Rowell’s Group at Division of Ecology & Evolution, Research School of Biology, Australian National University in 2018. My PhD project focuses on systematics and evolution of weevils associated with cycads in Australia. Specifically, I look into the taxonomy of Australian cycad weevils using morphological and molecular evidence, and explore their systematics and evolution by the phylogenetic reconstruction based on mitogenomic data, molecular divergence dating, biogeographic analysis, ancestral state reconstruction and co-evolutionary analysis. My research interests include taxonomy, systematics, natural history, biogeography, co-evolution and paleoentomology.
