Research interest

    At present, as the principal investigator of the seaweed culture collection center, I am leading the team working on the following directions, (1) maintaining stock cultures of important micro and macro-algae species, (2) establishment of novel seedling production techniques of kelps and Sargassum spp, (3) selective breeding for productive strains of Laminaria, Undaria and Hizikia, (4) stressful physiology of farmed seaweeds, (5) population genetics of farmed seaweeds, (6) barcoding identification of seaweed flora, (7) biology of Ulva spp.

    Our financial support comes from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of China (CARS-50, Coordinator since 2017), the Chinese Academy of Sciences (stock culture supplemental supporting program), the Ministry of Science and Technology of China (classification and long-term maintaining of macro-algae in the northern regions), the Natural Science Foundation of China (Sino-Norway program to work on iodine issue).

    Our team have established strong co-operations with seaweed farming enterprises in China and have independently bred four seaweed varieties in the past 10 years all of which have been widely used in the farming industry.
