I am a PhD candidate at China University of Mining and Technology, currently conducting my research as a visiting PhD student at the Center for Mining Restoration, Curtin University. 

My research focuses on ecological monitoring and restoration in mine landscape, and I find myself particularly fascinated by questions related to key ecological outcomes that efficiently contribute to successful restoration efforts, as well as how restoration practices can be modified to enhance resilience. I also explore plant species and diversity monitoring by integrating unmanned aerial vehicle data with ground surveys in mine restoration projects.
