September 2006 - June 2011, School of Life Science, Lanzhou University, PhD, Ecology

RESEARCH

   I mainly use molecular technologies to study the genetic diversity of rumen microbes of Tibetan sheep, yak and cattle. I also used mitochondrial sequences to examine the diversity of domestic animals in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. 

PROJECTS:

2013-2015, Chinese National Natural Science Foundation Committee (NFSC) Programme: High altitude adaptation of rumen microbes of Tibetan sheep; ￥230,000, Director.

2017-2020, Chinese National Natural Science Foundation Committee (NFSC) Programme: Effects and mechanisms of woody encroachment into alpine meadow on livestock production on Qinghai-Tibet plateau; ￥620,000, Co-investigator.

2012-2016, Key Projector in the National Science & Technology Pillar Program: Technology integration and demonstration in the pastoral area in southern part of Gansu, ￥1,818,000, Co-investigator.

TEACHING ACTIVITY:

From 2012, I gave the lectures on domestic animal ecology to undergraduate students.
