My research focuses on understanding the relationship between ecosystem, air, and water in the face of climate change. I am particularly passionate about translating fundamental ecological knowledge into applied practices that deliver socioeconomic benefits. These include, but are not limited to, (1) enhancing forest management to increase carbon sequestration, (2) improving crop yields to support food security, and (3) mitigating urban heat to promote public health. To address these challenges, I employ three primary approaches: (1) spatiotemporal data analysis to interpret field and satellite observations, (2) machine learning techniques to generate novel datasets, and (3) process-based ecosystem models to uncover underlying mechanisms.
