1978年1月出生，山东泗水人，中共党员。

2000年毕业于山东农业大学农学院，获学士学位，同年考取该校作物栽培与耕作专业硕士研究生，师从恩师田奇卓研究员和于振文院士，从事冬小麦水肥高效研究。2003年升入中国科学院成都生物研究所，在恩师王开运研究员悉心指导下，从事亚高山森林生态系统对气候变化响应的研究。自2007年取得博士学位至今，就职于中国科学院遗传与发育生物学研究所农业资源研究中心，从事农田作物及生态系统与气候变化关系研究、农作物节水技术研究。

目前正主持国家自然基金面上项目“大气CO2浓度升高对华北地区冬小麦农田水分利用的影响(No. 30870411)”，主持中科院知识创新工程青年领域前沿项目“作物水分利用效率对CO2浓度升高的响应”；协助主持中科院知识创新工程重要方向项目“环北京地区农业安全生产技术体系试验示范研究(Project: KSCX2-YW-N-042-01)”。
