He has been leader for more than 20 research projects including the projects supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), Xi’an metro and Shanghai metro. He has published more than 40 papers and more than 20 of them been cited by SCI, EI and ISTP. He mainly engages in the teaching and researching of geotechnical and underground structure engineering. 

He also lectures on ‘Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering’ and ‘Engineering Geology’ for undergraduate student, and 'Progress of Urban Underground Space Development', ‘Advanced Soil Mechanics’ and ‘Soft soil foundation and deep foundation pit support’ for graduate student. 

Forthermore, he was selected to be the first batch of outstanding youth science and technology talent training program in 2013 and awarded the outstanding young scientific and technological talent of the ministry of land and resources in 2017.

The research filed of  his team involves Urban Underground Space, Geotechnical and Underground Structure Engineering, Cross-fusion reliability theory, Geology, et al. The basic theory, optimal design and prevention and reduction of disasters of geotechnical and underground structure in complex conditions are the their main work.
