I am a young scientist from the Philippines specializing on Taxonomy and Systematics of Cercopoidea. My current research focuses on Phylogeny of Cercopidae which aims to understand their relationship (monophyly) in a Morphological and Molecular context, this also includes their divergence dates and biogeographical dispersion. On top of that I also do taxonomic studies on Cercopidae from the Oriental region specifically Philippine Cercopidae, documenting and describing new and known species.
