About Me

I received my PhD from the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology department at University of Toronto, co-supervised by Drs. Stephen Wright and John Stinchcombe. I investigated the evolutionary genomics of selection across haploid and diploid life stages in both angiosperm and moss species.

Before my PhD, I received my BSc in Biological Sciences (major) and BE in Software Engineering (minor) at Sichuan University.

My CV is availabe here (updated Sept 2025).
