Research theme: Southeast Asian Area Studies specializing in the ecological cognition of maritime people (Sama-Bajau), especially their cognition of space and time, folk classifications and taxonomy, and ecological knowledge. Past works focus on their spatial cognition in shallow- to open-sea fishing, and environmental cognition in nomenclature and folk classifications of fish, fishing grounds, and landmarks. Since the Banggai Islands in Indonesia, the main research area is earthquake-stricken, research on maritime ethnic responses to natural disasters (earthquakes and tsunamis), mobility, and landscape history has been conducted now.
