2004年在喬治亞大學(xué)（the university of Georgia, Athens, GA）獲得博士學(xué)位。 2009年入選中國科學(xué)院“百人計劃”�；貒�前在美國羅格斯大學(xué)（即新澤西州立大學(xué)）， 密蘇禮大學(xué)從事博士后研究，和羅格斯大學(xué)（紐瓦克分校）任研究助理教授 （Research assistant professor）。

主要從事全球生態(tài)學(xué)， 景觀生態(tài)學(xué)和生態(tài)學(xué)模型方面的研究。目前他的研究方向主要是應(yīng)用遙感， GIS， 生態(tài)模型 和空間統(tǒng)計分析技術(shù)來探討在全球變化和人類活動干擾急劇增加的背景下生態(tài)系統(tǒng)格局和功能的變化。 已發(fā)表SCI論文10 余篇。
