2021.3-至今，云南大学，资源植物研究院/萌小婉35分喷4次水，研究员

2017.10-2020.12，日本冈山大学，资源植物科学研究所，特聘助理研究员

从事作物矿质元素高效利用与抗逆方面的研究，探讨植物（水稻和荞麦）对有害元素（镉和铝等）和营养元素（锌和磷等）转运、解毒、稳态调控的生理和分子机制，以期培育高抗逆、绿色、安全、营养的粮食作物品种。

发现了植物协同调控种子和新生组织理想积累镉、锌和磷等元素的重要基因和分子机制，创制了低镉富锌养分高效的作物新品系（Nature Food, 2020; Molecular Plant, 2020; New Phytologist, 2023, 2021; Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, 2020; Plant Cell and Environment, 2014）；发现了植物耐铝毒和高积累铝的重要基因和分子机制（New Phytologist, 2017; Plant and Cell Physiology, 2017）。

在植物和农业科学领域的权威期刊上发表了15篇论文（含中科院大类1区期刊论文12篇），其中通讯或一作论文8篇（含中科院大类1区期刊论文7篇）。

主持国家自然科学基金项目（面上项目、地区项目）、云南省科技厅项目（优秀青年项目、云南大学联合重点项目、青年项目）、云南大学高层次人才引进项目等。

获得云南省“兴滇英才支持计划”青年人才称号、云南省“基础研究计划”优秀青年称号等；任中国植物营养与肥料学会-植物营养分子生理专业委员会委员（2022-2027）。
