As a plant community and quantitative ecologist, Hao Ran Lai's research aims to understand and generalise the dynamics of forest communities through fieldwork and statistical modelling, often using long-term monitoring data. I am now broadening my research into multitrophic interactions and ecological networks, leveraging advanced quantitative and trait-based methods developed in my field and applying them to the study of ecological networks. My long-term career goal is to build capacity and foster an innovative research community in my home country Malaysia and tropical Asia, ultimately contributing to biodiversity conservation and reliable predictive models.
