Ph.D. Candidate · College of Public Administration · Nanjing Agricultural University
Introduction
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Land Resource Management at the College of Public Administration, Nanjing Agricultural University, China.
My research explores the ecological consequences of global economic activities — particularly how foreign direct investment and land use change reshape ecosystem services across scales. I combine remote sensing, GIS, spatial econometrics, and ecosystem modeling to address these questions.
Previously, my work focused on land use dynamics and habitat quality modeling in the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area, using PLUS, InVEST, and multi-source remote sensing data.

What I Study
Quantifying the spatial-temporal dynamics of ecosystem services — habitat quality, carbon storage, water yield — at regional to global scales.
Satellite-based monitoring, multi-scenario simulation (PLUS model), and ecological impact assessment of land use transitions.
Evaluating the heterogeneous environmental effects of foreign direct investment across 62 countries globally.
Coupling LULCC simulation with InVEST for multi-scenario habitat quality prediction and ecological risk assessment.
Leveraging satellite imagery (Landsat, MODIS), GIS, and spatial statistics for large-scale environmental research.
Applying panel data models, System GMM, and causal inference methods to environmental-economic questions.
