He mainly focus on the related simulation on lower hybrid wave heating and current drive in tokamak plasma, experiments of lower hybrid current drive (LHCD) improving plasma confinement and its mechanism study, synergy study of lower hybrid wave and ion Bernstein wave (IBW)/electron cyclotron wave (ECW), coupling between LHW and plasma, and the plasma transport.
Extensive internal collaborations with France, USA, Italy, and so on, have been carried out. As project head and coordinate, he has finished the National Magnetic Fusion Program 'LHCD studies in EAST'. Also, he was responsible for 5 projects from the National Nature Science Foundation of China. He also partly carried out several projects from National Nature Science Foundation of China and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He has published over 40 related journal papers.
