Liyin He is a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Rosa Lab at the Department of Global Ecology, Carnegie Institution for Science. Her research aims to study sustainable food systems and adaptation of agriculture to global warming by using flux tower measurements, remote sensing, climate models and predictive analytics. Before joining the Department of Global Ecology at Carnegie, Liyin obtained her B.Sc. in Geographic Information Science from Nanjing University and Ph.D. in Environmental Science and Engineering from California Institute of Technology. During her PhD, Liyin focused on using solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF), to estimate the photosynthetic uptake of CO2 in forests and agricultural fields. She aimed to utilize the information acquired by satellite remote sensing across space and time, to help farmers assess the condition of crops, and to inform policy makers addressing food security and sustainability.
