Vianney DENIS | National Taiwan University
I am interested by any questions related to the ecology. My focus in coral reefs raised because of my addiction in diving and my indecision in working on plants or animals. Coral reefs are further emblematic of the profound impact of anthropogenic activities on the biosphere which calls for immediate and radical actions for changing human behavior.

Yuting Vicky LIN | National Taiwan University
I have interest for the diversity and role of the coastal benthic communities. In this context, the seas around Taiwan constitute an excellent natural laboratory in which I can identify a variety of reefs shaped by contrasted environmental conditions. High-latitudes and mesophotic communities are among those communities I like to explore as much less is known on these marginal habitats. I am a passionate of outdoor activities, discovering new countries, and socialize around a drink :) ResearchGate | Scholar |

Tzu-Yu Angel LAI | National Taiwan University, Academia Sinica
I am working on coral reproduction, with a specific focus on the terminal stage of gamete maturation. I enjoy sharing my time with (and being teased by) my labmates at AS and NTU. I like science to be fashionable, and I always try to show my best profile while diving. I have the ambition to improve my diving skill in a very near future and to have, as a scientist, a significant impact in the field of coral reproduction and ecology. ResearchGate |

Wan-Chien Victoria HSIAO | National Taiwan University
My interest lies upon the relationship between benthic communities and their corresponding environments. By integrating abiotic factors with living reef communities using a decision tree approach, I believe there will be more astonishing discovery in the future! Diving in the ocean has always been a pleasure for me and my diving skills have improved a lot after several scientific dives for my master study with my lab mates. I am cheerful and outgoing and hope to continue my stidues in Marine science with my passion and love for the ocean. ResearchGate |

Tsai-Hsaun Tony HSU | National Taiwan University
I love to see fishes swimming freely among coral reefs, and also like to observe beautiful corals. This is why I learned SCUBA divig and joined this lab. For now, I participated different aspects of research in our lag, from bnethic ecology to physiological ecology, hoping that one day I can move forward toward my interest and have a good academic performance. |

Clement CHUA| National Taiwan University
Clement is an undergraduate student form the Geological Department. He has interest in engineering for geological hazards like landslides, earthquakes, etc. He is a part-time helper in the laboratory for 3D-scanning coral samples and specimens from NTU zoology museum. |

Yen-Li LIU
Yen-Li has the hard part of the lab: administration. Fighting in this maze, she always finds the solution to our problem. Over the years, she learns to decipher the most obscure language from various Taiwanese administrations. In comparison, science is easy. |
