Education: PhD in Plant Biology, Sun Yet-sen University (2007-2012)

Non-scientific Interests: football, travelling

Brief Bio: I grew up in a small mountain village, so I had the opportunity to get in touch with all kinds of plants when I was young, which raised my interest in plants and nature very early. During 2007-2012, I completed my PhD at Sun Yat-sen University in the Seed Biology Laboratory of Professor Shangzhi Huang. During the 5 years, I studied the molecular mechanism of seed longevity using the sacred lotus and Arabidopsis. In 2012, I did a postdoctoral stay at Shanghai Institute of plant Physiology and Ecology (SIPPE) in the Lab of Professor Hongwei Xue, where I working on the role of casein kinase AELs on seed dormancy and germination. I returned to Sun Yat-sen University in 2016, working with Prof. Chenlong Li and Prof. Shangzhi Huang, to study the molecular mechanism of seed dormancy and germination. Recently, I joined the College of Life Sciences, Nanjing Agricultural University. Now, I am devoting to the study on the molecular mechanism of epigenetic factors regulating seed dormancy and germination.

个人简介：我在一个山村中长大，因此很小的时候就有机会接触到各种各样的植物，这使得我很早就对植物和自然很感兴趣。2007年我进入了中山大学黄上志教授的种子生物学实验室攻读博士学位。博士期间我主要利用莲子和拟南芥来研究种子寿命的分子机理。2012年我作为博士后进入上海植物生理生态研究所薛红卫实验室，主要研究酪蛋白激酶AEL调节种子休眠与萌发的分子机制。之后，我于2016年回到中山大学黄上志教授实验室，从事种子休眠与萌发的分子机制研究。最近，我加入了南京农业大学生命科学学院，正致力于解析表观遗传因子调节种子休眠与萌发的分子机理。
