Research Interests
I specialize in the study of early modern Thai history. In particular, I have focused on the political history of early Rattanakosin-period Siam (Thailand), examining the processing and issuance of administrative documents, as well as the members of the ruling elite. In recent years, I have conducted a multifaceted study of Siam’s relations with Vietnam and Qing China from the late eighteenth to the early nineteenth century, based not only on sources from these three states but also on Burmese materials. In addition, I have begun research on the Ayutthaya period.
