Ni received her Bachelor of Engineering in oil and gas prospecting and Bachelor of Art in English from Northwest University (Xi’an, China) in 2011, and a Ph.D. on thermochronology and tectonics from Curtin University (Perth, Australia) in 2015.

Ni’s current interests focus on applying a range of thermo-/geo-chronological approaches, including (U-Th)/He, fission track, Ar/Ar and U/Pb, to both fundamental (e.g., regional to global tectonics, mountain-building, magmatic records, impact events, environmental/climate change) and applied (mineral and petroleum resources) research.

Thermochronology - methodology and application

      conventional and LA-ICPMS in-situ U-Th-(Pb-)He, fission-track dating, vitrinite reflectance measurement

Geochronology

      Ar/Ar, LA-ICPMS U-Pb, SHRIMP U-Pb

Tectonics

      tectonothermal evolution and exhumation history of ore deposits and Mesozoic-Cenozoic basins and mountains
