Dr. Wei Wu

Professor

Bio

Wei Wu is a broadly trained systems ecologist. She primarily takes an interdisciplinary and systematic approach to model real and complex ecosystems at multiple spatio-temporal scales. Her research interests have centered on ecological resilience through understanding species’ and diverse ecosystems’ response to environmental change. She is dedicated to facilitate effective resource management practices to increase coupled human-natural systems’ resilience to climate change.
