China Agricultural University News NetworkOn December 27, the Organizing Committee of the Damo Academy Young Scholars Award officially announced the list of the 2023 Damo Academy Young Fellows Award, and Zeng Yelu, an outstanding talent introduced by the school and a professor of the School of Land Science and Technology, was successfully selected.
Professor Zeng Yelu has been engaged in quantitative remote sensing research on vegetation fluorescence and radiative transfer models for a long time, and was selected as one of the "35 Under 35 Technology Innovators" in the Asia-Pacific region by MIT Technology Review in 2022. He was honored for his recent research on remote sensing monitoring of vegetation greenness with complex canopy distortions, which was also published in Nature Ecology & Evolution. Xinhua News Agency also reported on this achievement, and relevant experts believe that this study has brought a new understanding of remote sensing monitoring of vegetation greenness, deepened the understanding of the characteristics of remote sensing data, and provided a scientific basis for future research on vegetation and climate change.
Initiated in 2018 by Alibaba Public Welfare and Ali Damo Academy, the Young Scholars Award is the first public welfare academic selection set up in the industry to discover young Chinese scholars, aiming to provide them with timely and effective assistance. In terms of application materials, the Green Orange Award reduces the burden on participants as much as possible, and does not only have qualifications, resumes, **, and rankings. In terms of judging, the Young Fellows Award adheres to the principles of objectivity, fairness, impartiality and rigor, and organizes domestic and foreign experts to conduct correspondence reviews to determine the shortlist.
In the past five years, more than 50 top young scholars have walked out of the Young Fellow Award, each of whom has received a free prize of 1 million yuan and scientific research support from the Damo Academy, and a group of new scientific research stars have come out of here. The 2023 "DAMO Academy Young Fellow Award" attracted more than 400 high-potential young scientific research professionals from more than 60 universities and scientific research institutions across the country, and finally 15 outstanding young scholars stood out.
