Overview
After completing my PhD in Physical Geography at State Key Laboratory of Estuarine and Coastal Research (SKLEC), East China Normal University, I joined the Centre for Geography and Environmental Science (CGES), University of Exeter, as a Postdoctoral Research Associate. I am now working on the UKRI Future Leader Fellowship grant, entitled Phytoplankton response to climate change (PRIME), focusing on understanding how phytoplankton are responding to climate change.
