Hello, Everyone!

I am a master student interested in the astonishing diversity and ecological range of insects (currently Lepidoptera, i.e. butterflies and moths). I want to teach myself and research about these phenomena with various data (e.g. molecular data, ecological traits, morphology, etc.) and assorted viewpoints (e.g. phylogeny, biogeography, gene expression, evo-devo, etc.). As both of student and scientist, I'd like to search the gaps of current knowledge within insect evolution and collaborate with many researchers to resolve many unsolved scientific questions!

My current works:

• Phylogenomics of the Erebine lineage (subfamily Erebinae and its neighboring taxa)
• Systematic taxonomy of the subfamily Erebinae in Korea

My interests encompasses the following ends:

• Phylogenomics of Lepidoptera (especially Noctuoidea, Erebidae) and their high biodiversity
• Coevolution of Lepidoptera and plants
• Evolutionary study by integrative approach with fossil records, ecological features, and omics data
• Biogeography
• Population genetics and species delimitation for detecting over- or underestimation of specific species
