1、 Personal Profile

I worked as a special researcher at the Guangzhou Institute of Geology, Chinese Academy of Sciences from 2008 to 2018. For many years, I have been engaged in the study of the metamorphic evolution history of high/ultra-high temperature metamorphic rocks in the pre Cambrian period of East Antarctica. I have participated in several field geological scientific expeditions to Antarctica by the National Antarctic Expedition Team and have led or participated in multiple National Natural Science Foundation projects. In recent years, I have participated in the national "973" project, the South China Deep Special Project, and the Strategic Project (B) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. I have conducted innovative research on ultra-high temperature metamorphic rocks in the Altai region and preliminary studies on the Caledonian metamorphic rocks in South China. Main research achievements: (1) High temperature metamorphic mineral assemblages containing sapphirine were discovered in the Larseman Hills, (2) Early high-pressure mineral assemblages containing sapphirine were discovered in the ultra high temperature granulites containing sapphirine in the Rauer Islands, and the metamorphic evolution history of the area was revised. (3) Permian ultra high temperature granulite mineral assemblages were discovered near Karasu, Altai. (4) Early 900 Ma to 1000 Ma metamorphic mineral assemblages were identified in the Larseman Hills, and their metamorphic evolution history was reconstructed. Currently, I serve as an editorial board member in the field of petrology for the international geological journal Frontiers in Earth Science and the fifth editorial board member for the domestic journal "Polar Research". He/she is also an expert in the Polar Expert Database of the State Oceanic Administration and a member of the 8th and 9th National Metamorphic Rock Professional Committees. In terms of academia, English journals that have been invited to serve as manuscript reviewers include Gondwana Research, Precambrian Research, Lithos, American Journal of Science, Journal of Metamorphic Geology, Mineralogy&Petrology, Geological Journal, Geological Magazine, International Geology Review, Journal of Asian Earth Sciences, Science Bulletin, Journal of Earth Science, Advance in Polar Science, etc. Domestic journals include Chinese Science Bulletin, Chinese Journal of Petrography, Earth Science, Geotectomics and Mineralogy, Polar Research, Journal of Rock Mineralogy, etc& Welcome students who are interested in studying the metamorphic evolution history of polar metamorphic rocks, especially ultra-high temperature granulites, to apply for graduate and doctoral programs in this field. We also welcome interested postdoctoral fellows to join us
