Research Foci:

My research includes a principal aim of understanding evolutionary history of terrestrial arthropods, particularly insects, and their palaeoethological and palaeoecological implications by a comparative morphological study between extant and extinct taxa, the latter belonging to exceptional faunas, including the Middle Jurassic Daohugou Biota (ca. 165 Ma), the Early Cretaceous Jehol Biota (ca. 125 Ma) of northeastern China and mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber (ca. 99 Ma).
