Invasion Biology & Biological Control Lab                                                                    

I graduated from Hua Zhong Agricultural University and had B.S. of bioengineer in June 2005. In June 2008, I had my master degree of ecology and my dissertation was about biological control of Japanese Knotweed and Chinese Tallow. I reported biology and host-specificity of a potential biocontrol agent (leaf beetle: Gallerucida bifasciada) for Japanese Knotweed and a potential biocontrol agent (leaf-rolling weevil: Heterapoderopsis bicallosicollis) for Chinese Tallow. Now I am pursuing my doctor degree I Wuhan Botanical Garden, CAS, focusing on biological control of Chinese Tallow and invasive ecology.
