Biography
I completed my bachelor's degree in Earth System Science at the Chinese University of Hong Kong with a minor in Statistics in 2021. I was a graduate geoscientist at Electronic and Geophysical Services - EGS (Asia) Limited in 2021-2022. I obtained my master's degree in Earth and Planetary Sciences at McGill University in 2025. I am currently pursuing my doctoral studies and anticipate to complete in 2028.
My previous research involves in the genesis of Rare Earth Elements (REE) in Iron-Oxide-Apatite (IOA) type deposit. I proposed a sulphate-complex aqueous system controlling the REE mineralization at the Kwyjibo deposit, Québec, Canada. The methodologies include fluid inclusion study, Raman spectroscopy, Cathodoluminescence, isotopes analyses and optical petrography.
