đź‘‹ Hello, this is Xiuyu.
I am an incoming PhD student in the Department of Geographical Sciences at the University of Maryland, College Park, where I will be working with Dr. John Armston.
In May 2025, I have received my Master of Science in Geospatial Data Sciences from the University of Michigan. My thesis focused on validating a remote-sensing biomass product by terraPulse, Inc. using the US Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) data. I was advised by Dr. Kai Zhu.
Prior to that, I got my bachelor’s degree in Geomatics and Geodesy from Wuhan University. My undergraduate thesis focused on using the GNSS-IR technique to monitor sea surface changes under extreme weather conditions.
