Education

2011.9–2017.7 University of Chinese Academy of Sciences，Ph.D.，Ecology

2016.3–2017.3 The University of Western Australia，Joint Ph.D.，Ecology

2007.9–2011.7 Beijing Forestry University, B.S., Wildlife and Nature Reserve Management

Academic Positions

2024.2–Current Associate Professor, Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences

2019.6–2024.1 Assistant Professor, Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences

2017.7–2019.05 Postdoc, Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences

Research Interests:

I am engaged in mammals' behavior, ecology, and evolution. We take an integrative approach to resolve long-standing questions about the formation, maintenance, and evolution of complex sociality through studies that combine ecology and evolution with those of underlying molecular mechanisms.
