Visting PhD student

I am a PhD candidate supervised by Shaopeng Li at East China Normal University. My main research interests are community ecology and invasion ecology. I use bacterial microcosm as model systems to figure out some fundamental questions of those two fields.

From January of 2023, I carry out research as an academic guest with Frank Pennekamp at UZH to understand the effects of environmental variability on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, and the field of ecological forecasting.
