I am currently working at International Institute for Earth System Science (ESSI), Nanjing University, China, with focus on carbon cycle data assimilation using a generic biosphere model combining multiple sources of observations including remote sensing measurements and in-situ ones at various scales to disentangle the carbon cycling under changing climate from historical to future periods.

My research interests include soil hydrology, cold regions hydrological and biophysical modeling, carbon cycle data assimilation and agricultural water resources management.

  • I got my Bachelor degree during 2007-2011 on Water Resources Engineering at Wuhan University, China, with my Bachelor thesis focused on the reservoir optimization for catchment scale water resources management.
  • From 2011 to 2016, I did my PhD at Wuhan University and was supervised by Prof. Jiesheng Huang (homepage) and Prof. Jingwei Wu (homepage). I conducted 3-year laboratory and field experiments to unveil the impacts of salt on soil freezing/thawing. I disputed my thesis in 2016 focused on the coupled water, heat and salt transport in the seasonally frozen soils in Hetao Irrigation District, Northern China.
  • From 2014 to 2016, I studied at Royal Instutite of Technology (KTH), Sweden as a PhD student. I mainly focused on developing the coupled water and heat transport model (CoupModel) to consider the impacts of salt on soil water and energy balance. In collaboration with my PhD supervisor at KTH-Prof. Per-Erik Jansson (homepage) we finished the CoupModel development work and uncovered the couplings between water, heat and salt in seasonally frozen agricultural soils and investigated the uncertainties in cold regions hydrological modeling. In 2016, I succeeded in my PhD defense at KTH with the thesis "Coupled processes in seasonally frozen soils: Merging experiments and simulations".
  • From 2016 to 2018, I worked at Lund University in collaboration with Dr. Marko Scholze (homepage). We used a generic Carbon Cycle Data Assimilation System (CCDAS) to combine satellite observations with a terrestrial biosphere model to constrain carbon fluxes from terrestrial ecosystems. We exploited the added-value of SMOS soil moisture and optical depth in improving terrestrial biospheric modeling.
  • From 2018, I started my work at Nanjing University. In collaboration with colleagues from International Institute for Earth System Science (ESSI), we are developing a high-resolution data assimilation with the capability of assimilating multiple observations such as XCO2, SIF, soil moisture, OCS, and VOD.
