Research Interests

Atmospheric aerosols and ocean biogeochemistry, with a particular focus on field observations, data assimilation, and the application of machine learning techniques to simulate phytoplankton biomass dynamics and marine biogenic emissions.

Biography

Dr. Ying Chen is a Professor in the Department of Environmental Science and Engineering at Fudan University, where she has served since January 2009. Prior to this, she worked as a Consultant at Trinity Consultants Inc. in Irvine, California (2007–2008), and as a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Geological and Environmental Sciences at Stanford University (2004–2007). She received her Ph.D. from the Marine Estuarine and Environmental Sciences Program at the University of Maryland, College Park (2000–2004). She holds both an M.S. and a B.S. in environmental science from the School of Environment at Nanjing University, China.
