Research Interests:

Micropaleontology, especially paleoecology and Palaeobathymetry based on the distribution of foraminifera species. This interest involves the study of the paleoecology and palaeobathymetry of the foraminifera species during early Miocene time. This approach is particularly important for petroleum system of the central Myanmar basin.
