EMPLOYMENT

2008.7-present: Research Associate, Biodiversity group, IAE, CAS.

 

EDUCATION

2003.9-2008.7: (a combined Masters-PhD program), Ph.D., Ecology, IAE, CAS. PhD thesis: Effects of elevated CO2 on the leaf chemistry of three tree species and the feeding and performance of gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar L.) larvae.

1999.9-2003.7: B.Sc., Forestry, Shenyang Agricultural University, Shenyang, China.

  • My current research focuses on community ecology of ground dwelling beetles, addressing questions on the distribution and diversity of insects, with other interests including plant-insect interactions, forest pest insect management, and environmental manipulation experiments (e.g., elevated CO2 concentration and soil N availability).
