Range of Research Interests
The research interests contain systematics, biogeography and paleontology of Mollusca and bioinformatics software development on phylogenetic systematics. Hooked on systematics of Mollusca, I mainly work on terrestrial snails infraorder Helicoidei including family Camaenidae using morphological and molecular methods.

About the Blog
Helix is the first genus of animals named by Linné, also the symbol of Gastropoda. Likewise, Helix contains a wealth of meanings in either in Chinese or English. This web theme is about Malacology, therefore, we use this name.
