“Each step that we make in more intimate knowledge of nature leads us to the entrance of new labyrinths” - Alexander Van Humbolt

​

I strive to be a belowground ecosystem scientist who specializes interactions of tree roots, mycorrhizal fungi, microbial communities in soil. I am interested in incorporating traits of tree roots and mycorrhizal fungi into belowground biogeochemical cycle to better understand forest ecosystem.

 

Based on my studies on soil and mycorrhizal roots, I am hoping to improve our scaling capability of measuring traits in root system and expanding the empirical data into ecosystem modeling.

​I am confident my non-linear academic path will lead me to contribute myself through excellent research on hidden-half of nature.
