Biography

I am an Assistant Researcher at the Northwest Institute of Eco-Environment and Resources, Chinese Academy of Sciences. My research focuses on permafrost change, active-layer dynamics, and ecohydrological processes in cold regions, integrating field observations, remote sensing, geophysical surveys, machine learning, and statistical modeling. I aim to improve understanding of permafrost-environment interactions under climate change, with particular interest in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and northern permafrost regions.
