Main work

Among the first batch of young talents selected into Yunnan Province's "Ten Thousand Talents Plan". Received support from the Outstanding Young Innovative Talent Cultivation Program of the Chinese Academy of Forestry. Published more than 30 academic papers in international science and technology journals (SCI), with 17 first or corresponding authors, two of which were published in top journals in this field.
