About Me

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at GFZ Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences in Germany.  In collaboration with Prof. Dr. Dirk Scherler and other colleagues at GFZ, I am working on the project "Tectonic responses to Quaternary glacier fluctuations in the Central Tian Shan", funded by the  Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.

My research focuses on the mountain-building processes of High Mountain Asia (HMA), which have significantly influenced the evolution of the Asian climate, major river systems, mountain biodiversity, and the carbon cycle. These processes involve multistage deformation and are closely linked to diverse surface topography, rock erosion, and weathering processes. 

My study regions include the Tian Shan, Pamir, and Hengduan Mountains in the southeastern Tibetan Plateau. By integrating approaches from structural geology, thermochronology, sedimentology, geomorphology, Quaternary geochronology, seismology, and geodesy, I explore geodynamic processes across a wide range of spatial and temporal scales.

I am particularly interested in understanding how interactions between deep Earth processes and surface dynamics shape the landscapes we observe today.
