Dr. Zhijie Wang  [CV]

Dr. Zhijie Wang is a post-doc fellowship of Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Lethbridge in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada. He was born and educated in China, and received his Ph.D degree in Agronomy from China Agricultural University (2004), M.Sc. in Agronomy from Henan Agricultural University (2001), and B.Sc. degree in Agronomy from Henan Agricultural University (1993). He worked for Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences (JIRCAS) from December 2004 to November 2005 and carried out a research entitled “Crop monitoring methods using remote sensing and GIS” under the auspices of JIRCAS Visiting Research Fellowship Program. A model for winter wheat grain yield estimation was developed with Landsat5 TM and Landsat7 ETM+ images. As a post-doc fellowship managed by Natural Sciences Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), he served for Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada 3 years, from January 2006 to March 2009.  During this time, his research has been focused on the diagnosis of crop N status with chlorophyll meter, Dualex, Yara N Sensor and GreekSeeker. The strategies for wheat and corn N status assessment have been developed. He has been working on the bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) research using Imaging Spectrometer at the University of Lethbridge since April 2009.

 

Dr. Wang was awarded the Scholarship of Henan agricultural University at level 1 in 1992 and level 2 in 1991, the China National Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Fishery FENGSHOU Award, level 2 twice and level 3 twice, in 1994, 1995, 1996 and 1998, and DADI Scholarship, sponsored by a Chinese-American group, in 2000, respectively.
