Research Statement
I am a visiting PhD student from the Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. My interests are in plant-soil interactions, particularly in the alpine zone. During my time at CU, I am studying soil carbon and nitrogen cycling at the Niwot Ridge LTER. I am also a member of the Environmental Biogeochemistry Group at CU.
