Career Overview

I am Yannian Zhu, an Associate Professor and Ph.D. supervisor at Nanjing University’s School of Atmospheric Sciences. Originally from Xi’an, Shaanxi, I earned my B.S. in Geographic Information Systems and Cartography from Northwest University, my M.S. in Earth Observation from KU Leuven, Belgium, and my Ph.D. in Global Change and Earth System Science from Beijing Normal University. As a visiting scholar at Hebrew University under Prof. Daniel Rosenfeld, I deepened my expertise in atmospheric sciences. Before joining Nanjing University in July 2021, I worked at the Shaanxi Provincial Meteorological Science Institute (2002–2021) and as a research assistant at the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre in Ispra, Italy (2008–2009).

My research focuses on aerosol-cloud-precipitation interactions, satellite retrieval of cloud microphysical parameters, and quantitative satellite applications. I’ve led three National Natural Science Foundation of China projects and two key R&D sub-tasks, while contributing to five national-level projects. My work, cited over 1,900 times (H-index: 22), includes over 60 SCI papers, with 24 as first or corresponding author, published in Science and Nature Communications. Cited in the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report, my findings advance aerosol-cloud interaction science. I’ve received the Shaanxi Youth Science and Technology Award and serve on the China Meteorological Society’s Weather Modification Committee, Jiangsu Meteorological Society’s Atmospheric Physics Committee, and as a reviewer for the Swiss National Science Foundation and international journals.
