1、 Personal Introduction

Studied in Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology, Chinese Academy of Sciences,Received a doctor's degree in August. During the semester, he was funded by the International Cooperative Training Program for Doctoral Postgraduates of the University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and went to Ireland to study for a year to learn about plant physiology.
