于2013年和2018年分别获得中山大学学士学位和博士学位，随后在德国地球科学研究中心和挪威奥斯陆大学自然历史博物馆从事博士后研究。2023年9月起在中国科学院广州地球化学研究所工作，先后入选中国科学院引才计划、国家高层次海外人才计划。
主要从事矿床学研究，研究经历包括关键金属（金、铋、碲、铂族元素、铬、锂等）以及绿色工业矿物（高纯石英等）相关的矿床。已在Geology、Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta、Economic Geology、American Mineralogist、Mineralium Deposita、Ore Geology Reviews等期刊发表第一作者论文10篇。
1）工业矿物资源的成矿和勘查
高纯石英(high-purity quartz)矿床
2）岩浆作用相关的关键金属矿床的成矿和勘查
长英质岩浆相关的斑岩-矽卡岩铜金矿床、伟晶岩稀有金属矿床
铁镁质-超铁镁质岩浆相关的层状铬铁岩矿床、铂族元素矿床
长期招聘对上述研究感兴趣的硕士生、博士生和博士后，并为本科生提供毕业论文项目。有意者请通过邮件联系，请直接向我表达您的兴趣、意向或初步研究计划即可，不必太过担忧您的写作措辞。
