Biography

I am a distinguished professor at Department of Geography and Geospatial Sciences and co-director/senior scientist at the Geospatial Sciences Center of Excellence. Prior to joining Ƶ in 2013, I was a research assistant professor with the Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), China (1984-1988); a research associate professor with the Institute of Geodesy and Geophysics, CAS, China (1988-1995); a research associate and research assistant professor with the Department of Geography, Boston University (1999 to 2005). As a senior research scientist in the Earth Resources Technology (2005-2012) and a visiting associate research scientist in the University of Maryland (2012-2013), I worked at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service, Center for Satellite Applications and Research (STAR), Camp Spring, Maryland. Moreover, I am a journal editor of “Earth Interaction" and "International Journal of Applied Earth observation and Geoinformation", as well as a member of editorial board of “Remote Sensing of Environment” and "Remote Sensing Applications: Society and Environment".
