POST-DOCS & STAFF MEMBERS
DR. KOEN SITEUR
Koen is a post-doc in the lab. He earned his PhD in Max Rietkerk's lab, in the Copernicus Institute for Sustainable Development at Utrecht University, where he focused on theoretical and empirical research on critical transitions in ecosystems, with an emphasis on spatially extended ecosystems, rapid environmental change and water limited ecosystems. Now, he has published several outstanding papers on the spatial self-organization patterns and regime shift of ecosystem equilibria in PNAS, Water Resources Research, Ecosystems, Oikos, and Chaos.
Research interest: Theoretical models on ecosystems, spatial self-organization

DR. XING (JASON) JI
Jason is a post-doc in the lab. He earned his PhD in Jef Huisman's lab, in Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics at University of Amsterdam, where he focused on modeling of phytoplankton competition and evolution underlying climate change, such as rising CO2 and temperature. He has published several outstanding papers on the microevolution topic with lab experiments of harmful cyanobacteria in PNAS and JXB (Journal of Experimental Botany). Now, he is developing the experiments studies of the harmful cyanobacterial blooms in Taihu, China.
Research interest: algal competition, climate change, microevolution, cyanobacterial blooms

LI-XIA Zhao
She is a graduate student in the State Key Laboratory of Estuarine and Coastal Research, who is jointly PhD student with Department of Estuarine & Delta Systems (EDS) and is co-supervised by Prof. Johan van de Koppel. In a project co-advised by Prof. Xu Chi, she is focusing on the effect of self-organized patterns on ecosystem functioning of Yangtze Estuarine salt marshes ecosystems, specifically focus on the species Scirpus mariqueter.
Research interest: saltmarsh ecosystems, scale-depdent feedback

PHD CANDIDATES
MASTER STUDENTS
Zheng Zhu
He is interested in anomalous transports of particles in living fluids and the enhanced dispersal caused by organisms motion behaviors at microscaled levels. Now, Zhu has worked on the non-Gaussian Brownian motion of nutrient particles within dense algal cells.
