Professional Interests
Dr. Yiqi Luo was trained as an ecologist with an emphasis on systems analysis and modeling. His current research is focused on 1) developing and using knowledge-guided AI tools to discover new mechanisms underlying terrestrial ecosystem dynamics from big data; 2) identifying carbon dioxide removal (CDR) strategies that effectively lengthening carbon residence time (or permanence); 3) developing measurement, monitoring, reporting, and verification (MMRV) methods to evaluate CDR methods; and 4) integrating data from various global change experiments coherently with models according to biogeochemical and ecological principles.
