What This Site Covers
Research, tools, and publications around structure-aware forest microclimate.
The site is organized around one central theme: how three-dimensional vegetation structure propagates into light environments, microclimate gradients, and ecological interpretation.
Instead of functioning as a personal dossier, the homepage now serves as a content-first entry point into research questions, software assets, publications, and one dedicated contact page.
Core Themes
Three research threads and one applied layer.
The content is centered on climate regulation by forest structure, the data used to observe it, and the tools used to analyze it.
Forest Microclimate
Edge-to-interior gradients, canopy cooling, humidity buffering, and seasonal thermal variation in forest patches.
Research context3D Vegetation Structure
Voxel metrics, canopy heterogeneity, and structure-aware descriptors for light and ecological opportunity.
Structure questionsRemote Sensing
UAV-LiDAR, drone multispectral data, and multiscale observation workflows for forest reconstruction and mapping.
Observation workflowsOpen Research Tools
Software and data products, including FLApy, Graph Lab, and structure-aware analysis workflows.
Open softwareBrowse Content
Use the site by content type, not by biography.
Each section now answers a different need: research framing, software access, publication record, or direct contact.
Research
Questions, methods, and recent scientific directions.
Use the research page to understand the scientific focus: structure, light, microclimate, sensing, and ecological interpretation.
Software
What is available now, and what is still under development.
The software page separates mature tools such as Graph Lab and FLApy from active workflows like the forest digital twin system and mapping products.
Publications
Recent and representative outputs verified from public records.
The publications page concentrates the recent paper list, DOI links, dataset routes, and external academic profiles for the full record.
Contact
Direct details are kept in one place only.
Personal information, affiliation, email, and profile links are now confined to the contact page so the rest of the site stays focused on content.
Contact
Open for collaboration on forest microclimate, vegetation structure, and ecological modeling.
For research collaboration, data exchange, software discussion, or method-related questions, use the dedicated contact page.
