Work History
Research Assistant
China University of Geosciences, Beijing

09.2019 - 09.2024
- Conducted primary and secondary research to identify syn-collisional magmatism in the Lhasa terrane, Southern Tibet via the online database and identified relevant issues.
- Gathered data from online databases.
- Selected three groups of samples to address the identified issues.
- Identified the main minerals in samples from the thin sections using a microscope.
- Analyzed the ages of the samples studied.
- Assessed the Sr-Nd-Pb-Hf isotopic composition of the samples using a multicollector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (MC-ICP-MS).
- Interpreted the results from these experiments.
- Explored the petrogenesis of the samples and their implications.
- Prepared and revised manuscripts for publication.
- Presented findings at the Chinese Geosciences Union (CGU) in 12/2022.
Research Assistant
University of Göttingen

02.2023 - 02.2024
- Explored the characteristics of the Mo element and its isotopes using online databases.
- Investigated the origin of the adakites in the Central American arc system through online databases and identified key puzzles.
- Conducted Mo chemistry analyses of the adakites in the Clean Lab.
- Analyzed trace element data of the studied adakites using the iCAP-Q.
- Utilized Mo isotopic composition to explain the origin of the adakites and attempt to resolve the identified puzzles.
