  [### Dongmin (Dennis) Kim

 ](/people/dongmin-dennis-kim-0)Postdoctoral Fellow

 

 

 My research focuses on using mathematical and statistical methods to identify the factors that drive organisms to move and the consequences of these movements. I combine analytic and simulation models to achieve this. In my postdoctoral work, I will...

   [### Liling Chang

 ](/people/liling-chang) <lilingchang@fas.harvard.edu>Postdoctoral Fellow

 

 

 I am interested in carbon dynamics of forest ecosystems. My research includes 1) assimilating remote sensing data into the Ecosystem Demography (ED) model, and 2) estimating carbon, energy, and water fluxes. Besides forests, I am also interested in...

   [### Shaoqing Liu

 ](/people/shaoqing-liu) <shaoqingliu@fas.harvard.edu>Postdoctoral Fellow

 

 

 I have a background of computational earth system science and my research goal aims at understanding how human activity and climate change would affect the terrestrial ecosystem. I specialize in using earth system models, satellite products, in-situ...

  [### Rhemi Toth

 ](/people/rhemi-toth) <rhemitoth@g.harvard.edu>Graduate Student

 

 

 During my Ph.D., I plan on utilizing my background in GIS and ecology as I explore the impact of global changes, like climate and land use, on species. Specifically, I am interested in applying quantitative and spatial modeling techniques to better...
