Research Fields

       1. Green Catalytic Conversion of Biomass and Its Platform Compounds

       2. Efficient Catalytic Degradation of Emerging Environmental Pollutants

Major Research Achievements

My research primarily focuses on fundamental investigations in the fields of directional conversion of biomass and high-value utilization of derived products. Currently, as Principal Investigator, I lead a doctoral research initiation fund project at Jiangxi Science and Technology Normal University, while actively participating as a key member in multiple national and provincial-level research initiatives, including the National Key R&D Program of China during the 14th Five-Year Plan period. I have published 10+ SCI-indexed papers as first/corresponding author in peer-reviewed journals. In 2024, I was honored with dual distinctions: appointed as a University-Specially Appointed Professor at Jiangxi Science and Technology Normal University and selected as a Class E High-Level Talent by Jiangxi Province.
