I am a remote sensing researcher at AIR, CAS, supported by the CAS talent program. I think of ways to extract 3D and other quantitative measurements from images, mostly for planetary and geoscience research. I can generate pixel-resolution DTM from a single image (Shape-from-Shading techniques), and I have done it for the Moon (for the Chang'E-4 & partly Chang’E-6 missions), Mars (for the Tianwen-1 mission), and other planetary bodies. I also retrieve atmospheric parameters from Martian images. The outcomes have led to 17 academic publications in reputable journals (e.g., ISPRSJ, Icarus). Recently, I've been studying photometric modelling of the lunar surface and Martian atmosphere, and developing better 3D mapping methods for the lunar southpole, Mars, small bodies, icy moons and planetary landforms of specific scientific interest.
