Current Position: 

  •  Postdoctoral Fellow:  The Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation.
    Advisor:  Dr. Richard Dixon

Research Interests:

  • My research interests are to understand the molecular mechanisms of lignin biosynthesis in plants and use molecular, genetic & biochemical approaches to investigate Swithchgrass (Panicum virgatum) for future bioenergy production.

Education:

  • Ph.D. (2004) Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai, China
  • B.S. (1998) YanTai University, Shandong, China  

Professional experience:

  • Postdoctoral fellow (2008-present) Lignin pathway modification in Switchgrass, Dr. Richard Dixon’s lab; The Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation, Ardmore, Oklahoma, USA
  • Postdoctoral fellow (2004-2008)  Light signaling transduction in Arabidopsis, Dr. Enamul Huq’s lab; MCDB, University of Texas at Austin, Texas, USA.
  • Research Assistant (2003-2004)  Starch synthesis regulation in Rice, Prof. Zongyang Wang’s lab; The National Key Laboratory of Plant Molecular Genetics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai, China.
