University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign
I
got my PhD from Princeton University
in 2013, and I worked with
Prof.
Eric F. Wood in
the Land Surface
Hydrology Research
Group. I also closely worked
with Prof.
Kelly
K. Caylor and Prof.
David
Medvigy. My PhD
research focused on understanding how
hydrological variability impacts vegetation dynamics (vegetation
phenology, ecosystem productivity, and biome distributions) at the
continent scale of tropics using multiple remote sensing
datasets and
ecosystem/land surface models (e.g. SEIB
and VIC). University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign
I
am a Blue Waters Assistant
Professor in ecohydrology and remote sensing
in the Department
of Natural Resources and
Environmental Sciences (NRES), College
of Agricultural,
Consumer and
Environmental Sciences (ACES) at
the University
of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign,
and at the National Center
for
Supercomputing Applications (NCSA).
I use
satellite data, computational models, field work, and machine
learning approaches
to address how climate and human practices affect
crop productivity, water resource availability, and ecosystem
functioning. I have keen interests in applying my knowledge and skills
in solving real-life problems, such as large-scale crop monitoring and
forecasting, water management and sustainability, and global food
security. My lab closely works with scientists in computer science
(deep learning, high performance computing), plant physiologists,
agronomists, and economists in addressing the above real-life
challenges.
Mission Statement: We aim to bring the domain knowledge, satellite data, supercomputing, and machine learning together to revolutionize the agricultural research, such that we can observe every crop field in real-time, monitor crop growth condition & water demands & nutrient needs, forecast crop yield and risks, and provide farmers our solutions to best manage their fields, across the U.S. Corn Belt and Worldwide. We strive to achieve co-sustainability of environment quality and food security.
Recent News:
Jul 2018: AGU Global Environmental Change Early Career Award (UIUC ACES, UIUC NCSA).
Jul 2018: The opening keynote speaker for the 3rd Annual Symposium of "Crops in Silico" in UIUC.
Aug 2018: R&D Magazine covers a story of our recent work in satellite crop applications.
Sep 2018: Our algorithm predicts US end-of-season corn yield better than the USDA forecasts.
Nov 2018: Highlighted in the NCSA's exhibits in SC18.
Jan 2019: NCSA "Can you imagine" interview.
Feb 2019: NSF CAREER Award.
Recruitment: I have plans to recruit highly motivated PhD students and postdocs with full supports in the coming years in the area of "hydrolgoical and/or biogeochemical modeling" and "vegetation hyperspectral sensing". Please contact me with your CV and research ideas. PhD student positions are available all years around: *HERE*. A new postdoc position is available right now: *HERE*.
Short Bio: Before I joined UIUC, I was a post-doctoral scholar working with Prof. David Lobell in the Center on Food Security and the Environment and Department of Environmental Earth System Science, Stanford University. My postdoc research was to study climate change impacts and adaptations on crop production and food security in West African and US. Specifically, I used empirical and process-based approaches to model drought and heat stress effects on staple crop production and assess possible adaptation pathways. I also worked with Dr. Joe Berry on using satellite-based photosynthesis measurements (sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence) to quantify crop productivity. I briefly worked in the Climate Corporation to help their nitrogen modeling development between my Stanford and UIUC time.
