Chungnam National University,
Daejeon, South Korea

     I am currently a Ph.D. candidate at the Laboratory of Systematic Entomology in the Department of Applied Biology at Chungnam National University (South Korea) under the supervision of Professor Sunghoon Jung.  My research is presently focused on the taxonomy, phylogeny, and biogeography of Pentatomidae (Insecta: Hemiptera: Heteroptera)

     In addition, I am collaborating with the Department of Evolutive Biology, Ecology and Environmental Sciences, and the Animal Biodiversity Resource Center, at the Faculty of Biology of the University of Barcelona, contibuting to the faunistics, distributional records, and catalogues of the true bugs, with a focus on the superfamily Pentatomoidea, from the Iberico-Macaronesian Region and the Korean Peninsula.
