Research interests

Evolution and ecology of Potamidae; Molecular Ecology; Biogeography; Systematic biology; Diversification; Conservation Biology

Background

I completed my Bachelor’s degree and Master’s degree in Biological Science from Yantai University, China. In the Master’s thesis, I studied the phylogeography of Patelloida pygmaea along the China coast. I am currently completing my Ph.D. degree in Nanjing Normal University, China, and pursuing study at the National University of Singapore as a visiting Ph.D. student.

Current projects

My current project is unveiling the radiation and evolution of freshwater crab diversity in east Asia.
