About

“I analyze rocks, build models, and glimpse history from them.”

I am currently an assistant professor at Peking University. My research has been broadly in the areas of sedimentary geochemistry and geobiology, with particular focus on the coevolution of life and environment, climate and its feedbacks on seawater chemistry, as well as behaviors of selected isotope systems. I am also interested in emerging Carbon Dioxide Removal technologies and actively involve in many CDR projects.

Upcoming talks

[2024/05/18] I will be giving an invited talk in Guangdong Province.
[2024/06/17] I will be giving an invited talk on the 2024 North American Paleontological Convention at University of Michigan.
[2024/09/22-25] I will be convening a topical session at GSA2024 with Dr. Jordan Wostbrock and Dr. Yi Wang " Advances in Non-Traditional Stable Isotope Measurements and Utility as Proxies in Modern and Paleo-Settings." It will be our 4th consecutive year convening the same session. Hope to see you all in Anaheim, California!

Misc
I am fond of new technologies, so I keep learning new stuff (e.g., new technical stacks, programming languages) and occasionally write notes about them. I travel around the world and sometimes take photos.
