I am a postdoctoral scholar at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, studying the earliest stages of Solar System evolution recorded in primitive meteorites. I received my Ph.D. from the University of Chicago and my B.S. from the University of Science and Technology of China. My research combines isotopic and noble gas analyses of meteoritic materials to investigate irradiation by the young Sun, nebular processes in the protoplanetary disk, and the origins of isotopic anomalies in planetary materials, with broader interests in chondrule formation, asteroid evolution, and the histories of Mars and the Moon.
