I am a technician at the State Key Laboratory of Oil and Gas Reservoir Geology and Exploitation, Chengdu University of Technology. I serve as the technical director of the experimental platform at the International Center for Sedimentary Geochemistry and Biogeochemistry Research. My research interests lie in the development and application of new geochemical proxies, specifically focusing on iron speciation, carbonate-associated sulfate (CAS), carbonate-associated phosphate (CAP), and C-N-S isotopes to study marine redox conditions, recovery of productivity and element cycling. I have hosted one National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) Youth Project.
