I am a geologist highly interested in carbonate sedimentology, especially the carbonate related to hot and warm springs. At present, I am focusing on travertines in Bagni san Filippo (Italy) and Tengchong (China). Their petrological, mineralogical, sedimentological, and geochemical features and potential relationship with tectonics, climate, deep heat sources, and reservoirs are the key parts of my Ph.D. study.
B.Sc. in Resource Prospecting Engineering at the Southwest Petroleum University, 2016. Thesis Title: “Reservoir prediction of Chang 2 oil reservoir group (Yanchang Formation) in Jingbian Maning block of Yanchang Oilfield”.
M.Sc. in Sedimentology (including: Paleogeography) at the Chengdu University of Technology, 2019. Thesis title: “Genesis of Quaternary travertines in Reshuitang, Tengchong, Yunnan”.
Ph.D. student in Earth Sciences of the University of Florence, 2019 to 2022. Thesis Title: “Travertine deposits and geothermics: an epigean proxy for hypogean implications”.
