Research Interests
1. Cambrian small shelly fossils, and their taxonomy, systematics, evolution and microstructure (largely based on the study of phosphatized material in thin sections).
2. Small carbonaceous fossils from the Chengjiang Biota, basic morphology and evolution of major Cambrian metazoan groups.
3. Devonian tentaculitoids from South China, including taxonomy, biostratigraphy, evolution and ecology.
