I am interested in the tectonic, especially the basin-mountain system which developed in the convergence plate margin, interrogated through the lens of the petrology, deformation, and sedimentary record. My research is based on field mapping and numerical models, such as plate reconstruction and mantle convection assimilation, and complemented by a variety of analytical methods including U-Th-Pb geochronology, Lu-Hf, and trace elements geochemistry. I would like to integrate the clues obtained from different methods to investigate the tectonic process, especially taking a quantitative approach to geologic questions from the data view.
