Brief bio: I always feel it is a super cool thing to make original discovery about the our world, especially when this discovery has the potential to influence or change our understanding about how nature works. Therefore, after I got my bachelor degree, I joined the research group of professor Daye Sun and professor Wenqiang Tang with great enthusiasm for scientific research, and engaged in the work related to plant heat shock signal transduction. My study showed that in addition to the well-known HSFA1 family proteins, RVE4 and RVE8, the core oscillator components of plant circadian clock, also play important roles in regulating the first wave of heat shock regulated gene expression. My work not only provided important insight into the mechanism by which circadian clock regulated plants’ adaptation to the heat stress temperature during the day, but also broadened our understanding of how heat shock regulate gene expression to increase plant thermotolerance. I am scheduled to defend my Ph.D degree around Dec. 2019, and I am looking for a postdoctoral position. I hope I can continue to stay in academia and engage in scientific researches in the future.

个人简介：我一直觉得在科学研究领域做出原创性的发现，研究成果能够影响或者改变人们对某个科学问题的看法是一件特别兴奋，特别有成就感的事情，因此，大学毕业之后，怀着对科学研究的满腔热情进入了孙大业教授和汤文强教授课题组，从事植物热激信号传导分子机理的研究。经过研究我发现：除了已知的热激信号途径核心转录因子HSFA1家族蛋白外，植物生物钟核心振荡器组分RVE4和RVE8也是植物热激信号传导途径重要的转录因子。这不仅为生物钟调节植物适应白天高温的分子机制提供了重要的线索和新的视角，也拓宽了人们对热激信号传导调控基因表达的分子机制的认识。现在我即将博士毕业，也正在寻找博士后的位置，希望在未来的日子里可以继续从事科学研究相关的工作，继续探究科学奥秘。
