个人简介：
2008.06年在华南农业大学获得博士学位，2008.07年至2014.06分别在日本冈山大学和新加坡国立大学做博士后研究，于2014.07入职伟德国际1946。从2014年至今，本人入选以下称号：广西高校引进海外高层次人才“百人计划”入选者，广西杰出青年基金获得者，广西第一批高层次人才(E层次)入选者。
教学和科研成果：
本人主讲本科生的《基础生物化学》和研究生的《高级生物化学》两门课程。目前，本人从水稻中已克隆出多个重要基因，并对它们做了功能分析，阐明了它们在水稻耐金属毒性中和养分吸收中的分子机制。相关成果以第一作者、通讯作者、共同作者身份在PNAS、Plant Cell、Nature Communications、The Plant Journal、Plant Physiology、Journal of Experimental Botany等国际著名期刊发表SCI论文35篇，先后获得三项国家基金和三项广西基金，其中二项为国家面上项目，一项为广西杰出青年基金，2018和2020年也获得了国家重点实验室青年人才专项基金资助。
主持承担的主要科研项目：
（1） 国家自然科学基金地区项目，水稻雄性不育基因MS87的克隆及其功能分析，45万，2016-2019；（主持）
（2）国家自然科学基金面上项目，水稻耐铝毒基因ALS7的功能分析与分子机理，61万，2017-2020；（主持）
（3）国家自然科学基金面上项目，OsDCS1基因调控水稻凯氏带形成和矿质元素选择性吸收的分子机理研究，58万，2021-2024；（主持）
（4）广西自然科学基金回国基金重点项目， 基于CRISPR/Cas9技术的ART1下游耐铝毒新基因挖掘及其功能分析，20万，2016-2018；（主持）
（5）广西自然科学基金杰出青年项目，水稻耐铝毒分子机理研究，40万，2017-2020；（主持）
研究方向：
1）水稻响应铝毒、镉毒、盐毒等营养逆境的生理和分子机理的研究；
2）水稻凯氏带形成及其在养分吸收中的作用机制。
指导的员工获奖：
三位研究生获得国家奖学金，两位研究生获得伟德国际1946董事长奖学金。
