I am now serving as an Associate Professor in the Department of Oceanography at National Sun Yat-sen University, and specializing in marine geology, paleoceanography, and marine micropaleontology. Since joining the university in 2009, my research interesting has focused on reconstructing paleoceanographic and paleoclimatic changes in the western Pacific and surrounding marginal seas. Recently, my studies also emphasize on sediment transport from Taiwan’s mountainous rivers, organic geochemistry, and long-term variability of the Kuroshio Current and North Pacific Intermediate Water. During the last 5 years, 24 papers has been published extensively in leading international journals, thus contributing significantly to the understanding of marine sedimentary processes, climate variability, and environmental change. Now, my research group focuses on interdisciplinary work that integrates geochemical tracers, micropaleontological records, and sedimentological approaches to investigate interactions between ocean circulation, climate, and terrestrial inputs in the northwest Pacific region.

The Laboratory of Marine Micropaleontology and Organic Geochemistry at National Sun Yat-sen University focuses on marine geology, paleoceanography, paleoclimatology, and biogeochemical processes in the western Pacific and surrounding marginal seas. The laboratory integrates micropaleontological, geochemical, and sedimentological approaches to reconstruct past oceanographic and environmental changes, with particular emphasis on the Kuroshio Current, intermediate water circulation, and sediment transport from Taiwan’s mountainous rivers. Equipped with advanced analytical facilities, including GC-MS, GC-IRMS, EA-IRMS, dissolved carbon analyzers, and laser particle-size analyzers, the lab provides comprehensive capabilities for organic compound, stable isotope, and sediment analyses. Through interdisciplinary research and collaborative projects, the laboratory contributes to understanding climate variability, carbon cycling, and marine environmental changes from modern to geological timescales.
