CAS
Ph.D. in Genetics, Chinese Academy of Sciences
I work at the interface of bioinformatics, crop disease biology, and wheat genetics, translating population genomics, resistance loci, and multi-omics evidence into practical resources for crop disease resistance breeding.
Education
University of Chinese Academy of Sciences
Focused on crop disease resistance, actively engaging with cutting-edge advances in plant immunity while grounding research in both theory and practice. Developed expertise in NLR pan-genomics and applied machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques to crop disease resistance research, integrating computational approaches with biological discovery.
College of Agronomy, Northwest A&F University
Joined the Wheat Disease Resistance Genetics and Molecular Breeding group, focusing on mining stripe rust resistance loci via bioinformatics approaches and characterizing the utilization patterns and trends of resistance loci across different breeding regions and eras. Completed coursework in crop bioinformatics and phenomics.
Conducted population genetics analyses of wheat resequencing data and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for resistance traits during the second year of the master's program.
Led wheat NLR pan-genome analysis, curated and annotated NLR sequences from over 40 published wheat genome assemblies, and performed variant discovery on resequencing data to identify candidate resistance genes during the final year.
College of Agronomy and Biotechnology, Southwest University
Built a strong foundation through core coursework in genetics, crop breeding, and molecular biology. Completed a research internship at the Chongqing Potato Research Institute, where the primary focus was on the effects of water stress on sweet potato cultivation. Acquired essential laboratory and field research skills, deepening both practical agronomic knowledge and a lasting interest in crop genetics and breeding — which motivated the decision to pursue graduate studies in the field.
Research Focus
Discovery and interpretation of resistance loci, superior alleles, and candidate genes for wheat yellow rust and related disease systems.
Knowledge resources and analysis workflows that make resistance genes, QTL evidence, and breeding information easier to query.
Scientific visualization and reproducible analysis workflows for biomedical and agricultural data interpretation.
Life
Authored 180+ bioinformatics analysis notes on CSDN with 300K+ cumulative reads, covering genomics, population genetics, transcriptomics, bioinformatics tools, and R statistical programming.
Regularly summarizing and reviewing research progress, organizing personal notes, and iteratively refining a knowledge framework. Revisiting bioinformatics challenges and solutions to deepen understanding and improve analytical workflows.
Driven by passion and curiosity, actively sharing learning experiences and exchanging ideas with peers. Bridging scientific questions with practical skills through continuous learning in statistics and multi-omics data analysis.
Contributed to team-built batch analysis pipelines for wheat disease resistance genes, including haplotype analysis tools and candidate gene variant site analysis, with a strong interest in statistical approaches to biological big data.
