Opportunities

My lab’s research interests focus on the following topicss:


Soil organic carbon: formation, persistence, and responses to climate change
  • Global soil organic carbon age and turnover informed from radiocarbon data
  • Soil microbial physiology (e.g., microbial carbon use efficiency) and its environmental controls


Enhanced rock weathering for scalable carbon dioxide removal
  • Key limitations in enhanced rock weathering to sequester carbon dioxide (theory & data syntheses)
  • Long-term fate of sequestered carbon in enhanced rock weathering across soil-river-ocean systems.
  • Soil organic-inorganic carbon interactions


Cross-scale land carbon cycle model development
  • COUpled Soil Inorganic-organic carbon model for eNhanced wEathering (COUSINE) to manage carbon dioxide removal


Process-guided and AI-assisted foundation model in biogeochemistry
  • Biogeochemistry-Informed Neural Network (BINN)
