Biography

I am an aquaculture scientist at the Yellow Sea Fisheries Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences. I received my Ph.D. from Shanghai Ocean University and was a visiting scholar at the University of Edinburgh. My research focuses on marine fish genomics, statistical genetics, and selective breeding, particularly in flatfishes and tiger pufferfish. I combine pangenomics, multi-omics, and quantitative genetics to investigate the genetic basis of complex traits like growth, disease resistance, and environmental stress tolerance and to advance genomic selection. My goal is to translate genomic discoveries into practical breeding strategies that support sustainable aquaculture by improving fish health, resilience, and productivity.
