I am a research associate professor in geochemistry and petrology at the Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry, the Chinese Academy of Sciences. My research focuses on how subduction zones and mantle plumes have modulated deep volatile cycling over time; and how such a cycling has influenced past climate changes and Earth's habitability. I have developed several collaborations with world-wide scientists, and I have been invited several times at conferences and at universities to present the research of my group. I am also an associate editor in Frontiers in Earth Science, both in geochemistry and in petrology, and a topic editor for “Reviews in Petrology” in Frontiers in Earth Science.

To understand how the Earth works and has sustained habitability, I study subaerial and submarine volcanoes at subduction zones and mantle plumes. Below is a video (from NOAA) of a volcanic eruption in the Mariana arc (NW-Rota1) that can be seen during cruise expeditions to sample volcanoes.
