Direction:Taking global intraplate volcanic rocks as the main research object, by analyzing the "genes" - isotopic composition and elemental characteristics of volcanic rocks, we aim to decipher the genesis of igneous rocks and volcanoes, trace the material composition and evolution of deep Earth, and explore two fundamental scientific issues: how the Earth operates internally and the operational mechanisms of livable Earth.

I have obtained a Master's degree and have worked for institutions such as Jiangsu Provincial Institute of Geological Survey, TP Link, and Huawei. Master's student's name is6
Academic Awards: Received2016First Prize of Jiangsu Province Science and Technology Award (ranked2, the winning project is "Research on mantle characteristics and shell mantle interactions in southeastern China. Received the title of Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Supervisor at Nanjing University in 2018
Fund Project: Hosted one key project of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, "Understanding the Properties of Deep Mantle Chemical Reservoirs from the Perspective of Continental Volcanic Rocks" (2022-2026). Completed National Natural Science Foundation project5LouisvilleOrigin and source characteristics of basalts from seamounts" and "Origin of high magnesium andesites from the Northeast Cenozoic era"
Academic Achievements: In the first author or corresponding author's paper, includingPNAS (1), Nature Geoscience (1)< Span style="font family: regular script; font size: 16px;">Nature Communications (1),  National Science Review (1) Earth and Planetary Science Letters (5) Journal of Geophysical Research (4) andGeophysical Research Letters (1) In recent years, the main focus has been on petrological and geochemical research on the source areas and processes of intra plate volcanic rocks.. By tracing the elemental composition of rocks, radiogenic isotopes (such as Sr, Nd, Pb, Hf), and stable isotopes (such as Mg, Fe, Zn), the material composition of the deep Earth's mantle (lower mantle and mantle transition zone) can be traced to understand the material cycling process between the Earth's interior and surface. The current H-index is 26
