Brief Introduction


Huasheng Huang, PhD, Pincipal Investigator, Doctoral Supervisor. Huasheng has been working in the fields of paleobotany and palynology at Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, University of Amsterdam and University of Florence successively since his Master's. His research areas include 1) the late Pliocene of Heqing Basin in Yunnan, SW China; 2) the late Eocene of central Myanmar Basin; and 3) the Pleistocene of central Italy. Huasheng participated 1) the project from Finannziamento Dipartimenti di Eccellenza, Ministero dell’Università della Ricerca; 2) the program Bando Vinci 2022 offered by the Università italo francese/Université franco-italienne; 3) the ERC Consolidator Grant; and 4) the open Subject Fund from State Key Laboratory of Palaeobiology and Stratigraphy, Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. He has published 14 journal papers so far, including 8 first-author/corresponding author papers (published in international academic journals including Geoscience Frontiers, Global Ecology and Biogeography, Journal of Biogeography and Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society), frequently attended international/national conferences, and built close cooperative relationship with international top scientists
