Ethnobotany, floristic inventory and plant taxonomy in mainland Southeast Asia
Biography
As the Curator of the Queen Sirikit Botanic Garden Herbarium (international acronym QBG), I, together with the herbarium’s team and botanists, curate and maintain more than 130,000 plant specimens housed at QBG, and making the data and images available online.
As a botanist, my research focuses on floristic inventory, plant species diversity and plant taxonomy in mainland Southeast Asia, particularly in Laos, Myanmar and Thailand, especially the families Juglandaceae and Violaceae. I also have an interest in ethnobotanical practices of ethnic groups in the region.
In addition to my work, I serve as production editor for the Thai Journal of Botany since 2009, editorial board member for the Thai Forest Bulletin (Botany) since 2019, and special lecturer at the Department of Biology at Chiang Mai University and Department of Botany at Kasetsart University.

Biography
I am a researcher at the Queen Sirikit Botanic Garden.The conservation of Threatened Plants are my main research. Besides the Orchid, I collected orchid seed and Orchid mycorrhizal fungi and I study about ex vitro symbiotic seed germination of orchids by co-culturing with orchid mycorrhizal fungus. The symbiotic seed germination method should be use for orchids conservation purposes and as an alternative tool for commercial propagation of orchids.

Biography
As a researcher in Research and Conservation Department, I work as an initiative, create, and facilitate a research project for supported BGO’s conservation policy and strategic focus on Thai orchids. I study orchid diversity in Northern Thailand based in the area of Chiang Mai and Mae Hong Son province. In fieldwork, I survey the population of threatened Dendrobium orchid in the natural site and collect data for conservation and reintroduction projects. I also have interested in orchid conservation prioritization, Risk assessment, and ecology study for orchid conservation.
As a taxonomist, I work as and published new records and new orchid species for the supported checklist of Orchidaceae in Thailand. In addition, I am interested in scientific illustration and drawing for supported taxonomy publications e.g. Zingiberaceae (Hedychium, Monolophus, Cautleya, Rhynchanthus, Pommerschia), Nymphaeaceae, Nelumbonaceae, Fabaceae (Erythrina), Acanthaceae (Justicia). Furthermore, I help identify and collect material for supported academic students and the other laboratory.
