Jishou University School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering
Ph.D. in Engineering, specializing in teaching and research on food microbiology. My academic mission is to serve students well while advancing food safety and enabling precise control over fermented foods. I have participated in 1 national key R&D projects, published more than 10 SCI papers, and been granted 2 national invention patents.
Interests, Areas
Mining and Utilization of Characteristic Microbial Resources from Ethnic Minorities in the Wuling Mountain Region
Investigate microbial community structure and functional diversity in fermented foods, use high-throughput sequencing to decode microbial ecological networks, and identify functionally promising strains.
Microbial Protein (Meat Analog) and Biocontrol in the Wuling Mountain Region: Dual Boost for Food Safety
Harness specialized microbial fermentation to synthesize proteins and develop meat-like alternative foods, expanding new protein sources. Simultaneously, discover biocontrol strains to manage harmful foodborne microorganisms and fungal toxin contamination, providing dual support for food safety development.
Precision Development and Metabolic Regulation of Fermented Foods in the Wuling Mountain Region Driven by Big Data and AI
Leverage microbial fermentation to develop bioactive/functional foods, use AI for data mining, and achieve targeted microbial metabolism.
