I am now a postdoctoral scholar at Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, UC, Irvine. Before i got here, i earned my PhD in Environmental Science from Department of Environmental Sciences, University of Virginia with the guidance from Professors of Manuel Lerdau and Herman Shugart.
I am broadly interested in Biosphere-Atmosphere Interactions (BAIs). All processes mediating the interactions between the two spheres inlcuding biophysical and biogeochemical pathways are my interests. My current research is mostly focusing on Atmospheric Composition-Climate Change feedbacks mediated by the Biosphere, which involve ecophysiology, biogeochemistry, ecosystem, and community ecology, as well as a little bit atmospheric chemistry. Answers to the questions are obtained with a variety of methods including field observation, experiment, remote sensing, modelling, data mining, etc.

Research Highlights
I developed the 1st individual-based forest volatile organic compounds emission model–UVAFME-VOC (v1.0). This paper won the Best Young Researcher Paper Award of International Society of Ecological Modelling Society.
By compiling independent studies of GHGs fluxes in response to ozone from around the world, I did an assessment of sensitivity of global GHGs budget to ozone using metaanalysis, finding ozone elevation largely weakens the terrestrial carbon sink and the suppressed CH4 and N2O emissions offset ~10% of enhanced CO2 emissions. This work is published in Environmental Research Letters. And this paper recently was featured in a environmentalresearchweb article entitled ' How does tropospheric ozone affect greenhouse gas budgets?'.
An opinion paper arguing a widespread production of greenhouse gases in soil systems in an alternative mechanistic pathway category–nonmicrobial–is published in Global Change Biology.
Results that tropospheric ozone may not suppress forest carbon sequestration with an explicit incorporation of species diversity with varying sensitivity to ozone, and, meanwhile, enhance isoprene emissions from the southeastern US forests are published in Scientific Reports. This paper was featured in SCIENCE NEWS, among a couple of other science media, entitled “Smog may not hurt a forest’s carbon-sucking ability, contrary to conventional wisdom”.
