I received my BSc in Animal Science from China Agricultural University in 2006 and my PhD in Quantitative Genetics from Aarhus University in 2012. From 2013 to 2017, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Aarhus University and Nordic Cattle Genetic Evaluation NAV. After that, I continued at QGG, Aarhus University, as a researcher and assistant professor until late 2021. More information, s available in my CV here. The best way to reach me is via email.
