1988年出生，地质微生物与环境全国重点实验室副研究员。主要研究方向为古海洋遗迹学、古生物与古生态学以及微生物-后生生物关系等，对深时特别是重大地质突变期（大灭绝事件）遗迹化石大数据和软躯体造迹生物群落的演化趋势感兴趣。近十年主要研究了二叠纪末大灭绝之后海洋造迹生物的系统古生物学、遗迹沉积学、古生态学和生态系统工程（ecosystem engineering)，系统总结了不同环境中的软躯体造迹生物在大灭绝前后的演化和复苏过程。

          共发表论文28篇，其中以第一/通讯作者身份在Science Advances、Earth-Science Reviews、GSA Bulletin等期刊发表论文11篇；并以第一作者兼唯一通讯作者在国际著名出版社Springer Nature出版了国内首部遗迹学英文专著。主持国家自然科学基金青年科学基金项目、面上项目各1项，以及湖北省自然科学基金地质创新发展联合基金重点项目1项。担任《沉积学报》青年编委；作为第一召集人在中国古生物学会第31届学术年会组织分会场（2023年），并在第七、八届全国青年地学论坛召集遗迹学分会场；受邀在中国古生物学会生物沉积学分会第一届专题研讨会作大会主题报告。担任 Geophysical Research Letters、Global and Planetary Change、Palaeo-3、Sedimentary Geology、地球科学、古地理学报等国内外学术期刊审稿人。
