In the past three years, I have been studying the spatial and temporal niches of the Przewalski’s Horse (Equus ferus przewalskii) and the Asiatic Wild Ass (E. hemionus), in Kalamaili Nature Reserve, in Xinjiang, China. My dissertation is titled as, Resource Use and Niche Differentiation of Two Sympatric Equids in Arid Ecosystem.


Before I came to Princeton, I received my master with honors in Beijing Forestry University (2004-2007), when I worked with Professor Defu Hu on evaluating the South China Tiger’s behaviors in semi-wild conditions and its potential wild habitats in China. 


I grew up in Beidaihe, Qinhuangdao, Hebei, China. I like playing soccer, watching movies and cooking.

          I am interested in the behavioral ecology, especially the movement and spatial ecology. My current researches include the resource use and interspecific relationships between two sympatric Asian equids.
