Our research mainly focuses on the diversity and dynamic of ecosystems (mainly forests) at multiple scales, with a special emphasis on understanding various macroecological patterns, including beta diversity and many others.
We use both empirical and theoretical approaches to address our research questions.
- The empirical data we collect and analyze are mainly from forest inventories.
- Our current theoretical exploration relies heavily on probability theory.
- We use R, C++, and Python to analyze data and implement our theoretical models.
Prospective students and postdocs are encouraged to read my papers and contact me before applying officially.
