Research Bio:

I earned my Ph.D. from Sichuan University in 2022 under Professor Jianquan Liu's guidance. Since my fourth year of undergraduate studies in 2015, I've been immersed in plant biology within Professor Liu's lab, focusing on Rhododendron species.

My research centers on Rhododendron speciation and evolution, aiming to uncover genetic and ecological mechanisms driving biodiversity in mountainous regions.

Key publications include:

Wang J et al. (2019). "Nuclear SSR markers for Rhododendron species identification." Journal of Systematics and Evolution, 57(3), 278–286.

Ma YZ et al. (2023). "Hybridization in Rhododendron subgenus Hymenanthes." National Science Review, 10, nwac276.

Li Q et al. (2022). "Phenology divergence in Rhododendron montane communities." Journal of Ecology, 11(12), 2960–2970.

Mao XX et al. (2021). "Species identification in Rhododendron vernicosum-R. decorum complex." Frontiers in Plant Science, 12(0), 1–10.

Future research aims to explore genetic diversity, environmental factors, and species adaptation within the Rhododendron genus.

I'm excited about collaborating with RR-N to further our understanding of plant evolution and biodiversity.
