Dr. Qing Zhan
Qing Zhan is currently working as postdoc on a large-scale digital research infrastructure (LTER-LIFE) at NIOZ. Within this project, Qing is serving as the coordinator for development of Wadden Sea digital twin. Although the shape of ecosystem digital twin remains to be determined/debated, the 10-a LTER-LIFE project is trying to tackle it based on three pillars: fairification of data/model, virtual research environment, and community building. You, as ecologists - end users, can join the community to help shape the ecosystem digital twin infrastructure. You can find more information about this project on its webpage (LTER-LIFE). Feel free to connect with Qing via twitter/X or LinkedIn.
