July 2009-2011 Scientific assistant in “Evolutionary ecology of alpine plants” group at Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Science (CAS), focusing on pollination ecology of alpine plants
Nov 2011-2015 Scientific assistant in Botany Department, Senckenberg Museum of Natural History Görlitz, in BMBF project “PaDeMoS” (Pasture Development Monitoring System), focusing on plant biodiversity and soil nutrients, working on plant determination, soil analysis and data analysis
Oct 2016 Scientific assistant in Faculty of Geography, Philipps-University Marburg, for DFG project „The making of a Tibetan Landscape: Identification of Parameters, Actors and Dynamics of the Kobresia pygmaea pastoral ecosystems“, focusing on vegetation dynamics, biomass allocation and water consumption of Kobresia as a function of grazing and environmental conditions
since Sept 2017 Post doc researcher in Botany Department, Senckenberg Museum of Natural History Görlitz, for BMBF project “Mongolei-MoreStep”(Mobility at risk: Sustaining the Mongolian Steppe Ecosystem), working on sub-projecct “Vegetation change”
–Research interest
· Vegetation dynamics in grassland systems, particularly in Central Asia, e.g. Tibet (PaDeMos) and Mongolia (MoreStep)
· Interaction of abiotic and biotic drivers of ecosystem
· Plant strategies in response of environmental stresses and human impact
