He obtained his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. in Chemistry from Shandong University (1993), Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (1996), and Washington University in St. Louis (2001), respectively. He joined the faculty of the University of California Riverside in 2001.
He has received several awards including a Research Award (2005) and the Biemann Medal (2013) from the American Society for Mass Spectrometry, and the inaugural Chemical Research in Toxicology Young Investigator Award (2012), cosponsored by the Division of Chemical Toxicology of the American Chemical Society and the ACS journal Chemical Research in Toxicology. He is also a fellow for the American Association for the Advancement of Sciences (since 2012).
