Brief bio: I earned my Ph.D. degree in 2013 under the supervision of Prof. Li-Zhi Gao at Kunming Institute of Botany and worked on whole genome duplication (WGD) and comparative genomics in Gao’s lab for the next few years. During this period, I expanded my studies to include a variety of sequencing projects of wild rice species. In mid-2018, I joined the lab of Prof. De-Zhu Li at KIB driven by my interest in WGD. In collaboration with Dr. Peng-Fei Ma, we study the history of bamboo’s polyploidization and the evolution of basal grasses. I am enjoying the challenge of deciphering the pivotal role of ρ-WGD in the early evolution of grasses.

个人简介：我在昆明植物研究所师从高立志研究员攻读博士学位，并在随后几年继续在其团队从事植物全基因组重复和比较基因组研究。期间参与完成了包括野生水稻在内的多个植物基因组测序计划和研究工作。2018年加入李德铢研究员团队，有幸和马朋飞博士一起研究竹子的多倍化历史以及禾本科基部植物的演化。目前主要的兴趣是探究ρ全基因组重复在禾本科植物早期演化中的关键作用。
