Work experience
My first project (“Mathematical simulation on water movement in SPAC”, 1987-1990), as Principal Investigator, was funded by the Young Scholars Award Foundation of CAS. _x000D_
Since then, I have advised on about 35 projects, with total funds ~ 45 815 000 RMB, including the National Natural Science Foundation for Distinguished Young Scientists _x000D_
(2001-2004). While performing in these roles, I was also frequently involved in field and practical investigations and consultation, which added to my experience. My primary emphasis in research is water, heat, and mass transport in soil, and other basic and applied research in the area of soil physics. The main academic achievements I accomplished are _x000D_
developing: (1) a general similarity theory for water flow in soils; (2) an extended boundary layer theory for solute transport in soils; and (3) a dynamic model of soil water availability to plants.
