Research interests

• Eco-physiologically based agroecosystem modeling � phenology, transpiration, photosynthesis, growth, yield, and their relations with environmental factors.
• H2O, CO2, and energy exchange modeling between terrestrial surface and atmosphere and their responses to the climate change.
• Agroecosystem model applications in agricultural water and nitrogen management.
• Assimilation of remote sensing data (surface soil moisture and/or LAI) into agroecosystem model with Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF).

Experience

Visiting Scientist: Sep 2006 - Mar 2007, simulating the effects of cover crop on the nitrate leaching in subsurface drainage with agroecosystem model, Agricultural System Research Unit (Fort Collins) & National Soil Tilth Laboratory (Ames), USDA-ARS, USA.
