Brief bio: I received my Ph.D degree from the College of Horticulture at Northwest A & F University in 2015, under the supervision of Prof. Xiping Wang. During my Ph.D. period, I was mainly engaged in the research of molecular mechanisms of grape resistance. I joined Prof. Hua Lu’s lab as a Post-doc at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) during 2015 to 2020, investigating molecular basis underlying the interplay between plant innate immunity and the circadian clock. Presently I am researching grape resistant mechanisms against fungal pathogen at the Northwest A & F University as an Associate Professor. In our laboratory, we apply molecular biology, breeding, and bioinformatics tools to elucidate and enhance grape defense against fungal pathogens such as anthracnose, botrytis, and powdery mildew. I have published 10 SCI papers on Nature Communications, Plant Physiology, Molecular Plant Pathology, Journal of Experimental Botany, and other journals.
