I obtained my PhD in 2013 at CAS Key Laboratory of Mineralogy and Metallogeny, Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, under supervision of Prof. Peng Yuan. Then I was enrolled as an engineer at Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry in 2013 and was promoted to senior engineer in 2019. My daily work is in charge of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Scanning probe microscopy (SPM), as well as developing of new technologies and methods in mineralogy.

1. New analysis method developing in mineralogy.

2. Role of clay minerals in geochemical process.
