Education and work experience

Graduated from the Department of Building Environment and equipment Engineering, School of Energy and Power Engineering, Xi'an Jiaotong University in 2001. Graduated from the French Ecole Nationale Superieure D’Ingenieurs En Informatique, Automatique Mecanique, Energetique Electronique (ENSIAME) in 2005, and was hired to teach at Northwest A&F University in the same year. Received doctorate in engineering from Northwest University of Agriculture and Forestry in 2015.

Research interests

l Study on the effects of greenhouse thermal environment on crops: Study the relationship between the growth and development process of horticultural crops and thermal environment in greenhouse by using the method of statistical analysis; describe the growth and development process of vegetable crops by using numerical model.

l Green and low-carbon energy planning and design in modern agricultural park: Aiming at the large-scale modern facility agricultural park, taking the green and low-carbon sustainable development as the goal, analyze and evaluate energy consumption at the planning level; design and build the energy bus system based on new energy technology; analysis and research on the energy consumption of the built park and carry out the transformation of energy-saving technical.

l Research and development of green, new energy equipment for greenhouse environmental control: Comprehensive use of solar energy, wind energy, deep/shallow geothermal, air energy and other green energy; research and development of greenhouse environmental control energy device and control system based on crop demand.
