Education

Position

• 2015 -              Associate Professor, School of Life Sciences, The Chinese University of Hong Kong
• 2013 - 2015      Associate Professor, Microbiology and Cell Sciences, University of Florida
• 2007 - 2013      Assistant Professor, Microbiology and Cell Sciences, University of Florida

Research Interests

• Plant Cell Biology – We examine biogenesis and functions of secretory organelles and plastids in plant cells using molecular biological tools and multiple microscopy methods.
• 3D electron microscopy – We utilize electron tomography to investigate membranous organelles of eukaryotic cells. This advanced electron microscopy technique visualizes organelle structures at nanometer level resolutions in 3D.
