Research Interests

Research Area: Molecular & Evolutionary Ecology in Aquatic Ecosystems

Research interest: Frequent anthropogenic activities have resulted in rapidly changing environments globally. I have broad research interests associated with these rapid changes in human activities-influenced aquatic ecosystems (both fresh and coastal waters), particularly in invasion biology and water pollution. Generally, I mainly utilize multi-disciplinary methodologies (omics, modelling and simulation, big data analyses) to answer fundamental questions mainly in 1) dynamics of dispersal and colonization of aquatic harmful species (alien invasive and native pests) in difference environments; 2) mechanisms of rapid evolution and local adaption of aquatic species; 3) influence of multiple environmental stressors (e.g. chemical pollutants, invasive species, human disturbance, etc) on aquatic community structure and functioning; and finally 4) develop applied solutions in the early-warning, controlling and prevention of harmful species and conservation of threatened species challenged by multiple environmental stressors.
