Athita Senayai (Aim) Field of expertise: Bryophytes, Duckweeds Current research: Genetics, chemical diversity, and demographic senescence of duckweeds in Thailand
I've been interested in various fields of biology since I was an undergraduate student. I began studying bryophytes when I was a master's student in Botany, and currently, I am working with duckweed species in Thailand in several aspects. Apart from my academic work, I enjoy playing badminton, hiking, camping, and cycling! Email: [email protected] Facebook: Athita Senayai
