**I’m actively seeking highly motivated PhD student and postdoctoral reserachers to join our group. For more details, please visit this page **.
My research improves the monitoring of terrestrial ecosystem dynamics and deepens our understanding of vegetation-atmosphere interactions. Leveraging satellite remote sensing, machine learning, and process-based modeling, I track changes in canopy structure, carbon, and water dynamics and model their interactions with the climate across temporal and spatial scales. I am keen to build robust quantitative frameworks that guide sustainable land and water resource management to mitigate climate change.
