Personal profile
Xiuchen Wu is now professor at the Department of Health and Environmental Sciences, School of Science, Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University. Dr. Xiuchen Wu got Master Degree in Environmental Science in Sichuan University in 2007. He obtained the Ph.D degree in Physical Geography in Peking University in 2011. He was the MPI research fellow at the Max-Planck Institute for Biogeoscience in Germany. He did his postdoctoral research at LSCE in France during 2013-2014. Before joining XJTLU, he worked at Beijing Normal University during 2014-2025, where he promoted from assistant professor to professor.
His research interests focus on the environmental impacts of global change, resilience of ecosystems to megadisturbance, and land-atmosphere interactions. His current research mainly concentrates on the resilience of ecosystems to compound extreme climate events. He successfully obtained the Excellent Young Scientists Fund of NSFC in 2019. He ranks the Standford University top 2% scientist in 2025. He has published more than 150 peer-reviewed articles on prestigeous journals, including Science, Nature Climate Change, Nature Communications, Global Change Biology, etc.
He is seeking to establish an active, innovative, and collaborative research group at XJTLU. Students with research backgrounds in environmental science, ecology, geography, applied statistics, big data science, and other related fields are welcome to join my research lab.
