Professor Zhu received the B.Eng. degree in remote sensing from Wuhan University and the M.S. degree in geographic information science from Chinese Academy of Science, respectively, and earned the Ph.D. degree in earth and atmosphere science from Purdue University. Prior to joining HKU, he was working in University of California, San Diego, Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l'Environnement and Sun Yat-sen University. His research interests are agroecosystem modeling, climate change impacts and adaptation, remote sensing, food-water-carbon nexus. Through integrating field observations, remote sensing, data-driven and process models, he aims to help stakeholders to better tackle climate risks, design effective climate adaptation strategies and finally achieve agricultural sustainability.
