现任中国科学院紫金山天文台正高级工程师，2006年6月毕业于中国科学技术大学近代物理系并获得物理学学士学位，2012年6月毕业于中国科学技术大学近代物理系原子和分子物理专业并获得博士学位。2012年9月入职紫金山天文台暗物质和空间天文实验室。入职以来参与了中国首颗天文卫星 “悟空”号暗物质粒子探测卫星和中国首颗综合性太阳观测卫星“夸父一号”先进天基太阳天文台（ASO-S）卫星的研制工作。
负责“悟空”号载荷地面测试状态监视软件的开发和维护，参与配合完成初样、正样产品的各项地面综合测试，环境试验及CERN束流测试，保障了载荷研制工作进度和可靠性。
作为主任设计师负责ASO-S卫星上我国首台太阳高能成像载荷太阳硬X射线成像仪（HXI）的研制任务，在中国科学院空间科学先导专项支持下（1.28亿元）突破了调制准直型硬X射线成像方案的原理设计，光栅加工和装配关键技术等难题，完成了产品交付。卫星于2022年10月9日成功发射后，HXI载荷已完成各项测试和标定，以完美的工作状态持续开展了太阳耀斑爆发活动在硬X射线波段的成像观测，截止2023年5月，记录耀斑事例近300次，对观测结果的分析表明，HXI载荷在硬X射线波段的观测性能达到国际一流水平。
