河南省周口市人。2005年毕业于陕西师范大学化学教育专业，获得学士学位，后即作为研究生支教团一员参加了为期一年的研究生支教工作。2006年至2012年师从房喻教授主要从事寡聚噻吩衍生物的单分子层组装、光物理行为及其传感应用研究，顺利取得理学工士学位并被授予陕西师范大学优秀毕业生。2012年10月加入美国中佛罗里达大学化学系Kevin D. Belfield 教授课题组进行博士后研究，主要从事双光子染料合成及其在光化学动力学治疗和细胞成像方面的研究。2014年12月至今在美国新泽西理工学院进行博士后研究，研究方向仍关注双光子材料的制备及其生物应用。2017年11月入职bet365体育娱乐工作。迄今为止，在ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, Journal of Materials Chemistry, the Journal of Physical Chemistry B，the Journal of Physical Chemistry C和 Journal of Hazardous Materials 等著名期刊发表SCI论文共计20余篇，申请中国专利1项。在房喻教授实验室参与的一项研究成果获得陕西省高等学校科学技术奖一等奖（2013年，第六完成人），参与的另一项隐藏爆炸物超灵敏探测技术转让给深圳中物安防科技有限公司，并顺利投产。
拟开展研究工作将关注近红外双光子荧光染料的设计、制备和应用研究，目标实现对水体、细胞和生物组织内重要物质的灵敏荧光检测和高效生物成像。
