Zhongwang Wei (Associate professor in School of Atmospheric Sciences, Sun Yat-Sen University, China)

The main thrust of my work is toward a better understanding of water and carbon cycle in the earth. I studied eddy correlation measurement with Prof. Michiaki Sugita and got a master degree in April 2013 from the University of Tsukuba. I got my Ph.D. degree in Graduate School of Frontier Sciences Environmental Studies at the University of Tokyo in Mar 2016, supervised by Prof. Kei Yoshimura. After graduation, I joined Prof. Xuhui Lee's lab at Yale University as a post-doc researcher, working on isotope enabled LES model development. In April 2018, I came back to Univerisity of Tokyo as a project researcher and in May 2019, I worked with Prof Dani Or in ETH Zurich Switzerland, as a scientific assistant. Now I am a Associate professor in School of Atmospheric Sciences, Sun Yat-Sen University and Cooperative Research Fellow in Institute of Industrial Science, University of Tokyo. My research interests include global and regional meteorology, land surface and atmospheric hydrology, data assimilation, and stable isotope applications.
