Brief bio：Since graduate school, I have been working in Yu-zhong Zhang’s lab on how marine microorganisms affect marine energy conversion and material cycles. Marine microorganisms play a crucial role in both material synthesis and metabolism. The unique life processes exhibited by marine microorganisms in driving the marine biogeochemical cycle are fascinating. In the beginning, I focused on the catabolism of marine sulfur/nitrogen organic matter and its ecological impact. Recently, I have also taken up the study of solar energy capture and anabolism. I am pleased to continue my work and make progress in this area.

 

个人简介：

自读研以来，我一直在张玉忠教授的实验室工作，研究海洋微生物如何影响海洋生态环境中的能量转换和物质循环。海洋微生物在海洋物质合成和分解代谢过程中发挥着至关重要的作用。海洋微生物在驱动海洋生物地球化学循环中表现出的独特生命过程令人着迷。最开始，我主要研究海洋硫/氮有机物的分解代谢及其环境生态效应。最近，我也开始研究光能捕获和有机质的合成。未来，我将继续我的工作，并在努力这一领域取得进展。
