Biography

I obtained Ph.D degree from University of Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2017. During the period from June, 2018 to August, 2020, I worked in the Institute of Soil Science, CAS as post-doctor fellow. Now, I am a research assistant in the Institute of Soil Science, CAS. I am mainly engaged in the study of regional soil environmental quality evolution and its ecological effects, focusing on the regional geochemical process, migration and transformation, bioavailability and human health risks of soil heavy metals.

Right now, I am taking change of 1 project from National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), 1 from the National Key Research and Development Project of China and 1 from China Postdoctoral Science Foundation. Up to now, total 12 papers were published in domestic and international journal (10), such as Environment International, Environmental Pollution, Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment and so on. One paper was selected by ESI with Highly Cited Papers.
