Senior🎓
Top SchoolChao Wang is a Research Assistant Professor at UNC Chapel Hill with eight years of experience in ecohydrology, ecosystems ecology, and hydrological remote sensing. He applies advanced spatial analysis and machine learning using R, Python, Google Earth Engine, ArcGIS/QGIS, and HPC to quantify human and climate-driven changes in water and land systems. With a PhD in Environmental Science from the University of Puerto Rico–Rio Piedras and an MS/BS in GIS and Cartography, he blends rigorous field-informed research with scalable geospatial workflows. His work bridges theoretical process understanding and operational remote-sensing products, often translating complex models into reproducible analyses for regional water management. Notably, his trajectory from cartography to ecohydrology gives him a practical appreciation for both map-making detail and macroscale environmental drivers.
