Resume:

       Sep.2015-Aug.2016  Paläeontologische Institut und Museum,  Universität Zürich   Postdoctoral Researcher

 
Direction:

       Currently she is working on the Triassic ammonoid assemblage and biochronozones of South China and British Columbia, Canada. Right now she is investigating the Early Triassic ammonoid taxonomy and biochronozones of Anhui Province, aiming to construct a high-resolution biostratigraphic framework and precisely date the Early Triassic Chaohusaurus Fauna. 

Achievements:

  2015 Swiss Government Excellence Scholarship
