Biography

I am a faculty member at North China University of Water Resources and Electric Power, with research interests in crop water physiology and efficient water use. My work focuses on understanding crop–soil–water–nutrient interactions under different irrigation and management practices, aiming to improve water and fertilizer use efficiency and reduce environmental impacts in agricultural systems. My current research concentrates on the winter wheat–transplanted cotton cropping system, with particular emphasis on crop root development, water and fertilizer use efficiency, greenhouse gas emissions, and the simulation of soil water and nutrient transport processes. By integrating field experiments, physiological measurements, and modeling approaches, I investigate the mechanisms regulating crop water uptake, root–soil interactions, and resource utilization. To date, I have published more than 20 SCI-indexed papers and have served as principal investigator or key participant in over 10 research projects. My research aims to provide theoretical insights and technical support for water-saving irrigation and sustainable agricultural development.
