Shandong University
March 2023 - Present
Research Fellow, Institute of Microbial Technology, Shandong University
April 2014 - January 2022
Postdoctoral Researcher, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna
She integrates multidisciplinary approaches, including molecular biology, biochemistry, bioelectrochemistry, bioinformatics, molecular dynamics simulations, and computational biology, to develop research plans. Her work focuses on the substrate complexity of microbial extracellular degrading enzymes, predicting and designing interactions among free enzymes, elucidating and reconstructing electron transfer pathways, and establishing synergistic catalytic systems. She aims to intelligently design and modify rate-limiting enzymes and steps, analyze the regulatory mechanisms of degradation enzyme networks, and conduct targeted modifications and precise control of artificial multi-enzyme cascade systems, ultimately achieving efficient degradation of recalcitrant biomass and directed conversion into high-value products.
