About

I am a PhD student in Craniofacial Biology at University of Southern California. My advisor is Porf. Pinghui Feng. I obtained my Bachelor and Master degrees of Stomatology at Shandong University. My advisor was Prof. Pishan Yang, and I was also closely collaborating with Prof. Shaohua Ge and Prof. Yundong Sun. My research interests are in bacterial-virus interaction within the human oral cavity.
