AssociateProfessor at Shenzhen University of Advanced Technology.She received her Ph.D.fromChina Agricultural University and subsequently conducted postdoctoral research at the same university.Her research focuses onplanthormonesignaltransduction andstressresponsemechanisms.Over the past five years, she haspublishedmultiple papers asthefirst author (including co-first authors) in prestigious journals such asMolecular Plant, Cell Reports, and New Phytologist. Her team’scurrent research directions include (1)the mechanisms and applications ofplanthormonesignaltransductionandstress responses,(2) functional analysis of symbiotic nitrogen fixation in soybean, and (3) applicationsofplant synthetic biology.

1. Mechanismsofplanthormonesignaltransduction andstressresponses;

2.Analysis of the mechanisms underlying soybean root growth, development, and nodulation;

3. Applicationsofplant synthetic biology.
