Research Interests

My research mainly focusses on 1) fungal taxonomy and resource on the basis of phylogenetic and morphological analyses; 2) Microbial molecular ecology and macroecology using metabarcoding, meta-genomics/transcriptomics/bolomics approaches, as well as high-throughput culturing; 3) The ecological functions performed by fungal communities in various marine environments including coastal and deep-sea ecosystems, which can be hijacked and used for biotechnological applications.
