She has had papers published in leading academic journals including ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, Advanced Materials Interfaces, Advanced Materials, and ACS Nano.

His primary field of research is second language writing test performance. For his M.A. dissertation, he carried out a research project entitled "An investigation into the factors that affect computer-based language writing test performance." Other research interests include how peer reviews and computer-assisted language learning can be used to enhance language teaching and learning. He is an experienced teacher of English for academic purposes (EAP) and other related subjects at the university level. He has taught English for more than 14 years in China, Turkey and the U.K.

Her research focus for her doctorate centered on the design and teaching of writing courses for English-medium universities.

Her work is at the intersection of environment and biology (particularly physiological ecology) with emphasis on the impacts of climate change and ameliorating the impacts of climate change. Uniquely, she has worked extensively with plants, animals and microbial communities, focusing on semi-arid to hyper-arid environments. For more than a decade, she has been working to understand the physiology and ecology of complex biocrusts in deserts and the bioactive compounds they produce. She is particularly interested in how environmental factors influence compound production and isomer ratios.

Her research focuses on exploring the impact of culture on China's design innovation potential by investigating the structure, operation and evolution of the Chinese creative industry and the overall knowledge economy. She is also interested in entrepreneurship in the creative industry, and how it fits into the overall picture of China's innovation.
