Biography

 Ph.D., University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (Plant Breeding and Genetics,Outstanding Research Award by the International Peanut Genome Initiative for the contributions to ongoing efforts to establish links between genetics and key traits in cultivated peanuts, 2014.The Secretary/President-elect/President for The Association of Chinese Soil & Plant Scientists in North America (ACSPSNA) under ASA-CSSA-SSSA. 2017-2019  

Research Intrest

 focus of my research program is to understand the genetic principles of important agronomic traits in peanut; to map quantitative trait loci (QTLs) underlying the desired traits in peanuts; to explore genetic potential for peanut improvement, and to discover new genes related to desirable agronomic and seed quality traits.
