Education background

PhD in Meat Science, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Uppsala, Sweden, September 2008-March 2013

Master in Animal Nutrition and Feed Sciences, China Agricultural University, Beijing, China, September 2006-July 2008

Research interest

Carry out theoretical and technology research about fresh meat intelligent logistics and preservation. The main research areas include:

1. Mechanism of fresh meat losses control and preservation. Focus on the regulation mechanism of fresh meat quality by energy metabolism and protein post-translational modifications interaction at early postmortem, in order to provide theoretical basis for technology development of fresh meat quality preservation.

2. Regulation of fresh meat quality by environmental factors. Focus on the effects of temperature, humidity, packaging condition, etc. on fresh meat quality, develop ice temperature/ super ice temperature, super chilling technologies for fresh meat quality preservation, etc.
