I am a Postdoctoral Scholar in the School of Earth and Space Sciences at Peking University. My research interests involve the Permian-Triassic mass extinction, sedimentology, sequence stratigraphy, basin analysis, palaeoclimate change, high-resolution palaeohydrology reconstruction, hyperthermal events, storms, palaeosols, Earth surface processes and sedimentary modelling, astrochronology and sedimentary noise, and Cretaceous Solar System chaos.

Research Interests

  • Permian-Triassic mass extinction.
  • Sedimentology, sequence stratigraphy, and basin analysis.
  • Palaeoclimate change and high-resolution palaeohydrology reconstruction.
  • Hyperthermal events, storms, palaeosols, and Earth surface processes.
  • Sedimentary modelling, astrochronology, and sedimentary noise.
  • Cretaceous Solar System chaos.
