2009年毕业于美国麻省州立大学，获博士学位。之后从事博士后研究工作，2010年进入海洋一所工作至今。一直从事海洋地球化学的研究，重点关注痕量金属、氧化还原敏感金属及稀土元素在海洋中的地球化学循环过程，包括其在海水-沉积物界面的迁移、转化和埋藏过程及其与上层水体的交换过程，同时也关注痕量金属在海水和沉积物中的分布及其存在形态、生物可利用型和毒性的研究，已发表相关论文三十多篇。目前主要的研究方向有：

1）稀土元素在沉积物-海水界面的富集机制；

2）氧化还原敏感元素在极地沉积物-海水界面对沉积环境的指示；

3）热液体系中Fe及其同位素的地球化学循环过程；

        4）溶解态痕量金属在海水中的分布及其存在形态。
