    Research Associate (1985-1990), Research Assistant (1990-1994), Research Associated Professor (1994-2009), Research Professor (Since 2009), Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology, Chinese Academy of Sciences; Program Specialist (1996 – 2001), Representative Office of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization to China, Mongolia and DPR Korea.


Research Interest:
Research interests include Late Cenozoic mammal faunas, morphology, classification, and phylogeny; hominid evolution and its environmental background. Fossil CT scan data based 3D image reconstruction and analysis.Recent research work focus on Ginato associated mammalian faunas in Chongzuo area in Guangxi, southern China, environmental background of early human settlement in Eurasia, Late Pleistocene fauna of northern China, CT data based virtual 3D anatomy of fossils and paleoneurology.
