Research Fields

• Chronobiology
• Coral Reef Ecology
• Coral Physiology and Ecology

Research Directions

1. Temporal Regulation and Adaptation in Corals
   Investigating how corals regulate physiology and behavior through biological clocks and environmental cues (e.g., photoperiod, tides, seasons) and assessing their adaptability.
2. Environmental Change and Coral Reef Ecology
   Examining the effects of climate change (warming, acidification, nutrient shifts) on coral growth and ecosystems, and assessing long-term trends.
3. Chronobiology in Coral Restoration
   Exploring how biological rhythms influence coral recovery and applying findings to restoration strategies to improve success rates.
