CV file
Yi is interested in modeling interconnections between climate change and plant phenology with Dr. Kai Zhu. She graduated from the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) in 2022 with a BE degree in Hydrology and Water Resources Engineering, where she worked on wind speed’s impact on wind power generation and sand-dust storms with Dr. Zhenzhong Zeng. She was an exchange student at the University of Toronto in 2021 fall where she worked with Dr. Vianey Leos Barajas and Emily Spurgeon from the Shark Lab on analyzing the relationship between sharks’ behavior and sea temperature. In her spare time, she enjoys sports and nature observation.
