Summary
Yue Dou is a tenured Assistant Professor with 12 years of experience modeling coupled human-environment systems, specializing in land-use change, deforestation, and telecoupling using agent-based models and CLUE-S. She brings a rare blend of fieldwork and quantitative rigor—designing participatory workshops and ecosystem service assessments while coding models in RePast, NetLogo, C and Java and performing spatial analysis with ArcGIS and PCI Geomatica. Her research has bridged Amazon, China and global soybean supply-chain case studies, combining remote sensing, cartography and agricultural economics to inform policy-relevant scenarios. Comfortable moving from household-level surveys to national-scale trade spillover models, she also has a strong statistics toolkit (R, SPSS) and experience re-developing GIS systems. Based in Amsterdam, she leverages cross-cultural field networks and interdisciplinary collaborations to translate complex socio-ecological dynamics into actionable models.
