Serves as a professor and doctoral supervisor in the College of Fisheries and Life Sciences, Shanghai Ocean University (Shanghai 201306, China). His research focuses on plant and animal genomics. Throughout his nearly two-decade career in research, he has been involved in the genomic studies of numerous pivotal species, encompassing the Chinese rice genome, tea genome, moso bamboo genome, grass carp genome, poppy genome, Antarctic fish genome, shellfish genome, and the others. He has conducted comprehensive research in the areas such as genome polyploidization and adaptive evolution, population genetics, heterosis analysis, and molecular breeding. His research accomplishments have been published several times in the high-quality international journals. As a key contributor, bioinformatics team lead, and author, he played a pivotal role in the publication of the moso bamboo genome (Nature Genetics, 2013) and grass carp genome (Nature Genetics, 2015). He has led and contributed to various research and development initiatives, including national key research and development projects sponsored by the Ministry of Science and Technology, projects funded by the Shanghai Municipal Education Commission, high-level entrepreneurial talent recruitment initiatives in Nanjing, and germplasm innovation consortium projects in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
