A Masters of Science from University of Alberta in 2012. Supervisor: Dr. Philip J Currie, Advisor: Dr. Xu Xing.

Peace Region Palaeontology Research Centre Visiting Researcher, British Columbia, Canada;
Tumbler Ridge Aspiring Geopark Scientific Advisor, British Columbia, Canada.

As a master's student at the University of Alberta, I am excited to pursue original research on the relationships among Jurassic-Cretaceous dinosaur tracks in China, and a re-description of the mysterious carnivore "Dilophosaurus sinensis". I am also a lifelong dinosaur stamps fan :)
