My research centers on astrochronology and deep-time global change. My areas of expertise encompass cyclostratigraphy, paleoenvironmental and paleohydrological changes, Earth system processes, and sedimentary process modeling. I am particularly interested in the impact of sedimentary processes on the preservation of orbital signals and the astronomical time scale, the astronomical driving forces of past hydrological cycles, and effects on global paleoclimate events and terrestrial-marine water exchange. I have published 10 papers as the first or corresponding author, including Earth and Planetary Science Letters, Global and Planetary Change, and Science China: Earth Sciences. I serve as a reviewer for several academic journals, such as the GSA Bulletin, Quaternary Science Reviews, Sedimentary Geology, and Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology.
