About me
I am a PhD student in Agricultural Engineering at Digital Agriculture Lab, Department of Bioproducts and Biosystems Engineering, University of Minnesota - Twin Cities, working with Professor Zhenong Jin.
I received the M.Sc in Cartography and GIS from the Institute of Remote Sensing and Digital Earth, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2017 and the B.E. in Surveying and Mapping Engineering from Jilin University in 2014.
My research interests include but are not limited to: Land Use Land Cover Classification, Machine/Deep Learning, Sustainable Agriculture, Urban Remote Sensing, Phenology.
In my spare time, I like working out, taking photos, and playing basketball.
