Chuixiang Yi received all of his academic degrees prior to immigrating to the United States of America (USA). He received a Bachelor of Science in Physics from Liaoning Normal University (Dalian, China), Master of Science in Theoretical Physics from Northeast Normal University (Changchun, China), and Ph.D. in Atmospheric Sciences from Nanjing University (Nanjing, China). Before he moved to the USA, Dr. Yi served as an Associate Professor at Beijing Normal University (Beijing, China). He has accumulated ten years of post-doc research experience in the USA across many campuses, including University of California, Berkeley, University of Minnesota, Pennsylvania State University, and the University of Colorado. He is now a Professor at Queens College, City University of New York. Dr. Yi is a micrometeorologist and theoretical modeler studying how climate change affects the carbon cycle, and ultimately how these changes to the carbon cycle may alter our environment and further alter our climate in the future. Dr. Yi, along with 150 coauthors, won the World Meteorological Organization’s Norbert-Gerbier-MUMM International Award 2012 for best publication for the paper titled Climate control of terrestrial carbon exchange across biomes and continents (Yi et al., 2010, ERL).
