I joined the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Oklahoma State University as an Assistant Professor in 2006, and promoted to Associate Professor in 2011, and Professor in 2016. I have edited 1st and 2nd editions of Plant Stress Tolerance: Methods and Protocols under the series of Methods in Molecular Biology, and a book entitled "MicroRNAs in Plant Development and Stress Responses". I served as an associate/handling editor for peer-reviewed journals such as Molecular Biotechnology, BMC Plant Biology, BMC Genomics, and Journal of Experimental Botany.
