Scientific research fields: radar remote sensing, lidar, coupling of ionosphere/thermosphere.

Personal Profile

Dr. Zhibin Yu graduated from University of Science and Technology of China in 2009. From 2009 to 2014, Zhibin Yu continued to pursue a Doctor of Science at Boulder, Colorado.

During his doctoral studies, he observed and conducted experiments by lidar in adjacent space at the McMurdo research station (77.8° S, 166.7° E). He was the first scientist to overwinter at the McMurdo research station in the past 30 years, and successfully completed the first lidar observation of the adjacent space in the gap area (between the pole and the Antarctic circle) at high latitude in Antarctica.

He has served as the reviewer of the Journal of Geophysical Research (JGR) and Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics.

After graduating from University of Colorado Boulder, he worked in the research and development of meteorological radar and the development of comprehensive meteorological support system for civil aviation in Beijing Institute of Radio Measurement.

Academic Achievements

He developed the first thermosphere-ionospheric Fe/Fe+ model (I.E., TIFE model). Using this model, he successfully simulated the observation of Antarctic Lidar for the first time, and put forward a complete theoretical exposition of the metal layer of the thermal layer.

As a core member, he has participated in many major projects and key projects of American Natural Science Foundation for many times.
