Kaiyu Guan received a B.S. in Geography/Geoinformatics from Nanjing University, China in 2008, and a Ph.D. in environmental engineering from Princeton University in 2013. His Ph.D. work focused on understanding hydrological impacts on vegetation dynamics in tropical ecosystems in Africa, using both ecosystem modeling and remote sensing. He is currently a post-doctoral researcher with Dr. David Lobell, working on modeling crop yields and mitigating climate change impacts on food security in West Africa and the U.S. using processed-based crop models and novel satellite data. He was a NASA Earth and Space Science Fellow, and the recipient of the CUAHSI Pathfinder Fellowship and Walbridge Graduate Fund of Princeton Environmental Institute.
