WORK EXPERIENCE
1984-1990 Researcher, Department of Plant genetics and breeding, Northwest Institute of Bontany. The work was about wheat breeding with chromosome technique and method, which mainly included new germplasm creation, new variety breeding and new method exploring.
1990-1993 Student for master degree, Department of Agronomy, Northwest agricultural University. Studying field is composed of wheat breeding, adaptability evaluation of wheat cultivars and the role of wheat-cultivar evolution.
1993-2000 Researcher, Department of Plant Genetics and Breeding, Northwest Institute of Bontany. Carried out research on cooperative project between Japan and China about crop introduction in Loess Plateau. Several kinds of crops such as maize, wheat, barley, buckwheat, soybean and rice, each with different varieties, were introduced and planted in order to asses their growth, development and adaptability to the local environment. At the same time the excellent varieties were selected and reproduced, and further more extensively promoted.
2000-2003 Student for doctorial degree, College of Agronomy, Northwest A & F University. Researches on the value of vegetation background in Northwest area of China.
2003-2006 Teacher, Teaching and Researching Department of Farming and Planting for Crops, College of Agronomy, Northwest A & F University. The courses that were taught were farming system, crop production, dry land farming, plant ecology, etc to undergraduate student and graduate student.
2006-2007 Visiting scholar, Section of Crop Science, Department of Agricultural Science, Faculty of Life Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Denmark. Drought-resistant physiology of crop was studied by setting an experiment with different water-saving irrigation to explore drought-resistant mechanism and plant development under the condition of different drought stress.
2007-- Teacher, Teaching and Researching Department of Cultivating and Planting for Crops, College of Agronomy, Northwest A & F University. Again the five courses just same as above were given to undergraduate and graduate student.
