Personal Statement:

I obtained my bachelor's degree and doctorate from the School of Life Sciences, Sun Yat-sen University in 2014 and 2029, respectively. During Ph.D. period, I once stayed at the Georgia Institute of Technology as visiting researcher for one year. After obtaining doctorate, I joined the School of Ecology, Sun Yat-sen University to conduct research as postdoctoral fellow (from April 2020 to March 2022) and associate researcher (from April 2022 to November 2024). On December 2024, I joined the School of Pharmacy, Shenzhen University as an assistant professor.

Up to now (April 2025), I have published more than 10 SCI papers as the (co-)first or (co-)corresponding author in high-level international journals, including Microbiome, Functional Ecology, and Journal of Hazardous Materials. Currently, my main research interests are: 1) guided by Traditional Chinese Medicine theory and ecological theory, exploring the interactions between drugs, intestinal microecology, and human health, and then constructing AI models to assist personalized medicine; 2) utilizing multi-omics, network pharmacology, and AI technologies, from the view of intestinal microecology, revealing the scientific connotations and efficacy mechanisms of Traditional Chinese Medicines, and then contributing to the modernization of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Research Interests:

Traditional Chinese Medicine Microecology

Pharmacomicrobiomics
