现任职务：中国科学院新疆天文台副台长，党委委员。国际天文联合会会员， 中国天文学会会员，新疆天文学会副理事长。 

主要研究内容：主要从事射电天文、分子云与恒星形成研究，恒星形成与演化研究团组学科带头人，负责南山25米射电望远镜分子谱线观测系统的建设。近期主要研究工作包括：使用南山25米射电望远镜对北天银道面200平方度的天区进行无偏的氨分子巡天，研究与恒星形成真正紧密相关的高密度分子气体的大尺度分布与物理性质；研究巨分子云大尺度结构及其物理性质等。该巡天观测将与目前国际上已完成以及即将完成的其他波段银河系巡天观测进行综合比较研究，对研究银河系星际介质的不同成分分布，大尺度的恒星形成规律等前沿课题具有重要意义。使用新疆天文台25米射电望远镜对银河系巨分子云进行甲醛和氢复合线大尺度成图观测并通过CO和红外源等其他探针比较，研究这些区域中H2CO分子云的物理性质。
