About

Studying the land,
chasing the light.

I'm a joint PhD student at Beijing Normal University and ITC, University of Twente, working on agricultural remote sensing. My research focuses on crop mapping, phenology detection, yield prediction, and land cover area estimation.

Outside of research, photography is a constant part of my daily life. I almost always carry a camera with me, ready to capture the moments that feel worth remembering.

Photography taught me to slow down and pay attention — a habit that turns out to be useful in science too.
