Hello, Everybody!

I am a master's student interested in remarkably high diversity and capacity of insects (currently Lepidoptera—butterflies and moths). I am learning and trying to research them using various methods (e.g., molecular analyses, morphology, etc.). As not only a student but also a scientist, I would like to find missing parts of current knowledge within insect science and collaborate with scientists who have similar curiosity to decipher such questions.

My present works

  • Phylogenomics of Erebidae
  • Taxonomic review of the subfamily Erebinae (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) in the Korean Peninsula

My interests

  • Rapidly diverged lineages within Lepidoptera and their evolutionary history
  • Coevolution between lepidopterans and their surroundings
  • Integrative taxonomy with fossil data, ecological data, and molecular data
  • Phylogeography
