Biography

PhD from the University of Sydney, Australia. Outstanding Talent of Hainan Province, Key Expert of Hainan Provincial Party Committee Liaison Service He once served as an associate professor at the University of Hawaii in the United States, a member of the expert panel review panel for special projects in the bioenergy field of the U.S. Department of Energy and the Department of Agriculture, and a visiting professor of bioenergy and bio refinery at the University of Limerick in Ireland. He concurrently serves as the editor-in-chief of Frontiers in Synthetic Biology (Switzerland), an international journal of synthetic biology; and a director of the Bioengineering Professional Committee of the European Biotechnology Alliance. The main research directions are systems biology and synthetic biology; marine algae and microbial science and technology; bioenergy and biotechnology; marine nutrient metabolic network and metabolic engineering; utilization of marine biological resources; environmental bioengineering and sewage treatment; soil bioremediation; Marine coral symbiosis phenomena and applications; undertook 6 national-level scientific research projects, published 63 SCI papers as the first author or corresponding author; obtained 6 international and domestic patents.1. Develop a new process for biofuel production by photosynthetic microorganisms. Its innovation is that cyanobacteria-engineered bacteria directly produce biofuel ethanol by using solar energy and CO2 to achieve the integration of blue carbon sinks and bioenergy. This invention has applied for multiple U.S. patents and world patents and features cyanobacteria ethanol-engineered bacteria in the genome. The levels are genetically stable and do not require the application of any antibiotic selection pressure.2. Constructed the whole genome metabolic network of the photosynthetic microorganism Synechocystis pcc6803, providing a comprehensive simulation platform for genome, protein function, and cell metabolic reactions for cyanobacteria comics researchers.3. Develop a zero-waste green process with "green process, environmentally friendly, high-value conversion" tropical thermophile microorganisms to refine sugarcane bagasse and produce industrial bio enzyme products, as well as by-products such as prebiotics, chemicals furfural and hydroxymethylfurfural.1. Research on seawater domestication of Haematococcus pluvial is and pilot project of a land-sea integrated industrial model,2. Comprehensive research on soil health, plant health, and food health 3. Research on the adaptability of synthetic microbial systems (topic: "Calculation and prediction of interactions between heterologous modules and biological chassis")4. Study on the mechanism of using metabolic network microevolution to improve bioethanol yield and tolerance of Synechocystis 6803 5. Scientific basis for large-scale production of microalgae energy (topic: "Research on the metabolic network and systems biology of photosynthetic carbon fixation by energy microalgae") 6. Research on the environmental adaptation mechanism of coral symbioses and coral reef restoration.
