Interests
Using big data and AI tools to understand terrestrial ecosystems.
Identifying and evaluating effective carbon dioxide removal (CDR) strategies.
Integrating global change data with using biogeochemical and ecological models.
Recent Research
My current research projects are focused on 1) developing and using knowledge-guided AI tools to discover new mechanisms underlying terrestrial ecosystem dynamics from big data; 2) identifying carbon dioxide removal (CDR) strategies that effectively lengthen carbon residence time (or permanence); 3) developing measurement, monitoring, reporting, and verification (MMRV) methods to evaluate CDR practices; and 4) integrating data from various global change experiments coherently with models according to biogeochemical and ecological principles.
