Zann Teo Jiexin
GRADUATE STUDENT
I am a PhD student at NTU ASE. I started my research journey right here in the TEE Lab as a first year undergraduate, where I worked on analyzing data of dung beetle communities in the SAFE project site in Sabah. In my third undergrad year, I did a URECA project on creating a species checklist and morphological key of dung beetles in Singapore.
In my PhD, I will be further building upon the species checklist to create a local database, a complete morphological key, as well as possibly exploring topics of population genetics or the impacts of climate change. I aim to contribute to our understanding of the spatial and temporal distribution of dung beetles in Singapore and add to knowledge of their natural history.
When I'm not in the lab, I enjoy cooking, drawing and playing games. My favourite tea is ginger tea.
