I’m interested in igneous rock petrogenesis and geodynamics, and regional to global tectonics and paleogeography by using geochronology and geochemistry. My current research focus is the rifting processes in the northern Gondwana Continent, and related geological evolution and paleogeographic reconstruction of the Tethys realm.

I hold a B.S degree in Geology from China University of Geosciences (Wuhan) in 2004, and a Ph. D. in Geochemistry from Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2011.
