Dr He is Professor and Head of Department of Environmental Soil Science in the Research Centre for Eco-environmental Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). His research interests focus on the soil microbial biogeography and biogeochemical cycles of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) in soil ecosystems. His research employs advanced bio-molecular and physicochemical approaches to understand the distribution and diversity of microbial communities in soils, and the processes and mechanisms of microbes-mediated C and N cycles.

Dr He received his PhD degree (Molecular Ecology) from Griffith University in 2005 and then joined Chinese Academy of Sciences at Beijing as a research professor supported by Hundred-Talent Program of Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Dr He has published more than 80 peer reviewed papers in international journals. He serves international journals as Subject editor/ associate editor for Journal of Soils & Sediments and Soil Research, as editorial board member for FEMS Microbiology Ecology, Applied and Environmental Microbiology, and Environmental Science and Pollution Research.
