Brief bio: Since 2016, I have been working in the bamboo research group of Prof. Yulong Ding and Prof. Qiang Wei at Nanjing Forestry University. My PhD thesis focused on the molecular mechanism of rapid growth of Moso bamboo. Using an integrated approach of anatomy, mathematics, physiology, and genomics, we investigated the growth process of a representative internode of Moso bamboo during rapid growth of Moso bamboo shoot. These experiments provide new insights into the rapid growth and cell wall growth of the Moso bamboo stem and show how environmental signals coordinate rapid growth and ultimately influence the morphology of the internodes of Moso bamboo populations.

个人简介：在本科阶段，我对于植物学就有着浓厚的兴趣。2016年毕业后，我有幸加入了南京林业大学丁雨龙教授和魏强教授的竹类研究课题组。我的博士研究课题是毛竹快速生长的分子机制。我们利用形态学、数学、生理学以及遗传学相结合的方法，研究了毛竹笋快速生长时期其代表性节间的生长发育过程。这些实验为毛竹茎秆及其细胞壁生长提供了新的见解，同时阐述了环境信号如何影响竹子快速生长，并最终影响毛竹居群节间长度的潜在机制。
