I have worked for the eddy flux community (Ameriflux) for near ten years. My recent research has focused on canopy fluid mechanics by developing theory, designing observations and performing numerical simulations to help understand the physical, biological and chemical processes that control the exchange of trace gas between the vegetation and the atmosphere.<\/p>\n Several recent developments are useful in understanding fundamental problems of transport processes within canopy flows.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text ul_position=”inside” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Open Sans||||||||” text_font_size=”16px” header_4_font=”Open Sans|600|||on||||” header_4_text_color=”#E71939″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text ul_position=”inside” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Open Sans||||||||” text_font_size=”16px” header_4_font=”Open Sans|600|||on||||” header_4_text_color=”#E71939″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n I believe that teaching undergraduates is quite different from teaching graduate students. A scientist\u2019s foundation in science is built in undergraduate education and a person\u2019s thinking habit is influenced by undergraduate education too. In contrast, graduate education places emphasis on training the research ability for the future scientists. Some further courses to learn for graduates are necessary to bring students from the classic ground to the research forefront. However, involving graduates in research associated with advisor\u2019s projects are very important. I believe the most important ability for a graduate student is to identify an important scientific problem in their field and be able to concisely state it out.\u00a0 My philosophy is that when you clearly know what the scientific question is, you already know half of the answer to the question. The main goal of graduate education is not to learn more knowledge but to learn how to find a scientific problem and be able to solve the problem. When you need extra knowledge or skill to solve the problem, it is always possible to pick up the specific knowledge later.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text ul_position=”inside” disabled_on=”on|on|on” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Open Sans||||||||” text_font_size=”16px” header_4_font=”Open Sans|600|||on||||” header_4_text_color=”#E71939″ disabled=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Undergraduate<\/strong><\/p>\n Graduate<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text ul_position=”inside” disabled_on=”on|on|on” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Open Sans||||||||” text_font_size=”16px” header_4_font=”Open Sans|600|||on||||” header_4_text_color=”#E71939″ disabled=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Selected Publications<\/strong> Wei, S., C.
