Current Position: Post-doc in Nanjing Agricultural University, China

Education: PhD in Nanjing Agricultural University, China

Non-scientific Interests: Cats, Reading, Music

Brief bio: I completed my bachelors and doctors degree from Nanjing Agricultural University, China (2020). My interest in plant resistance began in my undergraduate life at Nanjing Agricultural University at Prof. Deyue Yu’s lab, and then I joined this lab for my Ph.D. training. During my Ph.D., my research mainly focused on the genetic analysis of soybean resistance traits to common cutworm and the functional characterization of related candidate genes. This study began in 2011, when we found that the flowering period of soybean is often consistent with the high incidence period of pests, and began to explore genes that synergistically regulate soybean flowering time and insect resistance.

个人简历：我在南京农业大学获得了我的学士和博士学位（2020年）。本科期间在南京农业大学喻德跃教授团队进行毕业实习，开始接触大豆抗虫性的相关研究。我对植物科学非常感兴趣，并在本科毕业后加入该团队攻读博士学位，研究方向是大豆抗斜纹夜蛾相关性状的遗传解析和相关候选基因的功能验证。本研究开始于2011年，我们发现大豆开花期经常与害虫高发期一致，并着力挖掘协同调控开花时间和抗虫性的基因。
