1983年4月出生于山东德州市。 2005年在山东科技大学获学士学位，2008年在中国科学院长春光学精密与物理研究所获硕士学位，2013年在荷兰瓦格宁根大学获博士学位。2013-2018年，先后在阿姆斯特丹自由大学，荷兰莱顿大学开展博后工作。现任中国科学院植物研究所植物光能转化与调控研究组组长。近年来，在PNAS，JACS, JPCL等国际刊物上发表学术论文20余篇。

主要研究工作：

主要研究方向为植物光合作用过程中光能的吸收及转化的物理分子机制及动力学过程，尤其关注在高光胁迫条件下光合生物实现自身光保护的能量调控机制。近年来，在蓝藻、绿藻以及高等植物等多种光合生物体系中的光保护调控分子机制研究中取得了突出成绩.

课题组将继续以分子生物学、超快光谱学、光学动态成像为主要技术手段，从植物光能吸收、转化以及调控的机理出发，围绕提升植物光能转化率这一核心科学问题，开展基础与应用研究。
