[July 2024] PhD dissertation and graduation ceremony: From PhD candidate to PhD

I hold my Ph.D from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences in July 2024.

I sincerely thank my supervisors - Llijing Cheng and Jiang Zhu, for their guidance during my 5 years of Ph.D. study!!! They helped me a lot on my academic path!!

During my Ph.D. study, I mainly focused on the study of ‘climate impact-drivers’ which connect physical ocean changes to broader climate change impacts. I used ocean climate observational and model data to identify the climate change ‘hot spot’ regions mostly affected by the compound climate changes and developed frameworks to assess these impacts.

This includes first of the construction of high-quality ocean observational datasets with cutting-edge data processing techniques (e.g., data quality control, instrument bias correction, duplicate checking etc.). Then includes second about the investigation of the long-term change of compound climatic impact-drivers such as ocean temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and pH over the past decades.

The title of my Ph.D. thesis is: The construction of ocean in-situ observational database and the investigation of ocean compound climatic impact-drivers

I made a vlog (~15 minutes; in Chinese) to record my ‘adventures’ of the words, feel free to enjoy it!

Below are some photos about the memory of my Ph.D study:
