Brief Introduction
I mainly engaged in South China and Southeast Asia research on structural geology and its dynamics research and focus on the unique geology of the South China Block and the driving effect of the Southeast Asian plate margin. I have made achievements on the definition of orogenic attributes, reconstruction of collage patterns, and dynamic coupling with plate margin structures in South China and Southeast Asia.
