Biography
I am Hongye Pei, currently a visiting scholar at the University of Bristol, working with Prof. Rich Pancost. I am also an Assistant Researcher at Henan University. I completed my Bachelor’s, Master’s, and PhD degrees at China University of Geosciences (Wuhan), where I trained as a geologist. My PhD research focused on organic geochemistry, particularly the sources, preservation, and environmental significance of lipid biomarkers.
After my PhD, I carried out postdoctoral research at Henan University, focusing on palaeoclimate change in central China. At Bristol, my research concentrates on peatlands, with an emphasis on the preservation of organic molecules, especially GDGTs, and their role in carbon cycling. My broader interests lie in organic geochemistry and palaeoclimate, and I welcome collaborations and discussions across these areas.
