Jingyi Huang is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Soil Science, University of Wisconsin-Madison. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of New South Wales, Australia, is developing novel non-invasive electromagnetic induction-based technologies and integrating them with mechanistic and empirical models for monitoring soil, water, and solute transport for irrigation scheduling and soil salinization management. Before joining UW-Madison, he worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Sydney and the University of New South Wales on combining big geospatial datasets and machine learning models to understand the effects of climate change and human disturbance on changes in soil properties and processes since the Industrial Revolution, commonly known as the Anthropocene. His research focuses on the physical and hydrological aspects of soil, its properties, processes, and relationship with the environment and humans.
