Research Interests: He is mainly engaged in research in the fields of forest ecology and silviculture. His research focuses on ecological restoration, ecosystem services, bamboo forest carbon sinks, forest soil carbon pools and their stability maintenance mechanisms, as well as the structure and function of tropical rainforests.
Educational Background & Academic Affiliations：He graduated from the Chinese Academy of Forestry in 2007 with a Doctor’s degree in Silviculture. He holds the following academic positions: Member of the Professional Committee of the Bamboo Forest Ecosystem Research Station under the National Ecosystem Research Network of China; Director of the Guangdong Bamboo Forest Ecological Station; Member of the 11th Editorial Board of Scientia Silvae Sinicae .
Research Projects & Academic Achievement：
Projects Presided Over: He has presided over more than 20 national and ministerial-level projects, including the National Key R&D Program of the 13th Five-Year Plan period and the 948 Program of the former State Forestry Administration. Currently, he is undertaking research projects such as the National Key R&D Program of the 14th Five-Year Plan period (projects and special topics) and relevant horizontal cooperation projects.
Academic Publications: He has published over 140 academic papers in domestic and foreign core journals, among which more than 40 are included in SCI/EI (10 in TOP journals). One of his papers was selected into the Annual F5000 Project of the China Association for Science and Technology (CAST). He has authored 1 monograph and participated in compiling 4 others.
Standards & Guidelines Formulated:
Led the formulation of 1 national forestry standard (issued in 2019) and 2 industry forestry standards (issued in 2020 and 2022 respectively);
Participated in formulating 5 industry forestry standards;
Took the lead in drafting the first national technical guidelines for the construction of an intelligent demonstration zone for the "four pools" of bamboo forests (released in 2023).
Intellectual Property Rights:
Holds 1 authorized invention patent and 3 software copyrights.
Awards & Honors:
Won 13 provincial and ministerial-level scientific and technological awards, including 2 first prizes, 8 second prizes and 3 third prizes. He has also been honored with the following titles: Advanced Individual of the National Award for Outstanding Contributions to Ecological Construction (awarded by the State Forestry Administration in 2012); one of the First Batch of "Most Beautiful Forestry and Grassland Science and Technology Promoters" (awarded by the National Forestry and Grassland Administration in 2021).
