Profile

Originally from China, I pursued my academic training (almost one decade) across several French cities, including Nancy, Quimper, Bordeaux, Lyon, and Montpellier. I also completed an international exchange at the University of Copenhagen during my engineering studies. These experiences enable me to speak Mandarin, French, and English fluently. (I am trying to learn Danish.)

Research

Educated as an agricultural engineer, I specialized during my interdisciplinary PhD in the retrieval of total transpirable soil water for grapevines through inverse modeling and crowdsourcing data. Driven by the goal of supporting farmers facing a changing climate, I joined Aarhus University (Campus Viborg) in May 2025 to focus on perennial cereals, specifically intermediate wheatgrass.

My current research investigates how management practices and environmental factors influence these perennial crops. To answer these questions, I apply data science and crop modeling approaches to extract fundamental knowledge of crops from complex field data. My methodology integrates high-resolution inputs from remote sensing, weather stations, and soil sensors into crop models.
