Short Bio
After four years study in resources and environmental engineering college, Hefei University of Technology School (HFUT) since 2011, I earned my bachelor degree in geology. Since graduation in 2015, Professor Guo Guangjun offered me a PhD position in the Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IGGCAS). During my PhD period, I mainly investigated the microscopic occurrence and flow of shale gas with molecular dynamics simulation funded by pilot project XDB10020301. From 2021 to 2024, I was offered a postdoc position in the State Key Laboratory of Lunar and Planetary Sciences at Macau University of Science and Technology (MUST). Under the guidance of Professor Ni Dongdong, my main research field is the stability of planetary hydrates. Currently I am working at Nanjing University as a research associate.
