Personal Information

My research focuses on insect–microbe interactions and population genetics, with an emphasis on how host genetic background shapes the composition of insect-associated microbial communities and its ecological significance. Using wild populations as study systems, I systematically evaluate how endosymbiont infections (e.g., Wolbachia) restructure microbial community profiles, and integrate mitochondrial genetic variation with multiple trait/adaptation indicators to infer potential evolutionary trajectories. In parallel, I employ genome-wide variation data to resolve fine-scale population structure and differentiation in insect pests, providing evidence for understanding population divergence and adaptive mechanisms. Related work has been published in Microbiome, Molecular Ecology, and the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, and I have led provincial-level research projects while contributing to National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) grants.
