博士，研究员，山地自然灾害与工程安全重点实验室副主任。主要研究方向为：山地水文与地表灾害。前期工作中，围绕“山地水文与滑坡灾害耦联机制”这一关键科学问题，（1）构建了水驱动型滑坡“诱发→运移→危险性”全过程耦合模型（LHT），实现了对滑坡发生时间、空间位置、运移路径和风险演化的精细模拟；（2）基于该模型，在小流域尺度揭示了植被生态水文效应对滑坡的非线性控制作用，统一了根系优先流促进／抑制滑坡的“矛盾”观点，并阐明了历史滑坡扰动对未来滑坡的影响机制，揭示了山体滑坡的“记忆性”；（3）进而拓展至青藏高原大型流域，耦合冰冻圈退化，建立了首个基于物理机制的雅鲁藏布江全流域水文－滑坡耦合模型，探究了雅江流域地表－地下耦合水文过程及其变化机理，阐明了百年尺度气候变化下滑坡发展趋势和风险演化规律。近期工作聚焦于：生态－水文－灾害协同演化机理；构造－气候－侵蚀耦合孕灾机制。
