My work mainly focus on Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations of extinct hypercalcified sponges as well as the comparative analysis with modern sponges at the moment. Especially, I prefer exploring more about the relationship between morphology and function among extinct or extant invertebrates. I am particularly interested in investigating skeletons of kinds of organisms that may exert different effects on their feeding mode, propagation and unknown mysterious function.

Fortunately enough, I am inspired by research which address questions relating to the evolutionary relationships, ecology, and range of forms of early animals, using fossil material. Underpinning my research is a desire to understand how past animals lived, why particular morphologies evolved, and test hypotheses linking form and function in extinct groups. Furthermore, as hypercalcified sponges are so important in palaeozoic marine ecosystems and for Earth systems such as the reef-building, given my research experience and current interests, the areas in which I see myself most likely to pursue my Ph.D. are biomechanical and computational fluid dynamics simulation of extinct or extant organisms, and also further my functional studies of fossils and how skeleton structure contributes to their life habits by using FEA method.
