I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at Earth Surface Dynamics group, ETH-Zürich, and through my work, I aim to contribute to identifying physical process connections between tectonics, climate, and biodiversity in the Hengduan Mountains, Southwest China.
I focus on understanding the mountain-building processes of High Mountain Asia (HMA), which have significantly influenced the evolution of the Asian climate, river systems, mountain biodiversity, and the carbon cycle through multistage deformation with diverse surface topography, rock erosion, and weathering processes. My study region spans the Tian Shan, Pamir, and Hengduan Mountains, where I explore complex geodynamic problems over various spatio-temporal scales.
My research is essentially based on integrating results from structural geology, thermochronology, sedimentology, geomorphology, Quaternary dating, seismology, geodesy, etc. I am passionate about uncovering the dynamic interactions between the Earth's surface and its deep interior, and how these interactions shape the landscapes we see today.
