本人近些年主要从事第一性原理计算与地球物理、地球化学交叉科学研究，利用第一性原理计算研究行星组成物质的物理化学性质，结合地球物理和地球化学观测，探究行星起源演化和内部动力学过程。已有研究工作主要包括：1）构建高温高压矿物弹性数据库，结合地震学观测限定地幔过渡带含水量；2）发现地球内核富水且处于 “超离子态”；3）发现俯冲洋壳和早期岩浆海残留物可能是下地幔不同尺度的异常体的来源；4）发展计算矿物间、流体/熔体间同位素平衡分馏系数的方法，限定核幔分异过程中硅酸盐-金属熔体之间的同位素分馏系数，并结合观测数据制约地球早期挥发和晚期增生过程。相关研究成果以第一或通讯作者发表于 Nature Geoscience、Nature Communications、Science Advances、The Innovation、Earth-Science Reviews、EPSL、GCA、GPL、GRL、JGR等国际主流期刊。

现阶段以及今后的主要工作是 利用第一性原理计算（+ 机器学习）研究行星内部物质的物理化学性质和行星演化过程中同位素分馏效应，并进一步结合观测数据探索行星内部结构、物质组成、动力学过程和起源演化。 希望能和广大同行进行深度交流和合作，欢迎感兴趣的本科生和研究生随时联系。
