I am now a post-doctoral research fellow in the department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, National University of Singapore. I gained my Ph.D. degree in the Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China in June, 2023. Before that, I spent seven years in the Central South University in Changsha, Hunan Province to obtain my master and bachaler degrees.

I like exploring the Earth using satellite observations and statistical modeling/machine learning methods. Reading papers and discussing with colleagues enrich my brain, swimming and running make me physically strong. Welcome to contact me for discussions and collaborations.
