Prof. Dr. Huili Zhang is a professor at the Northwest A&F University. She earned, from the Northwest Agricultural University, an MS in 2000 and a PhD in 2009. She was charged with one of the national “Eleventh Five” and “Twelfth Five” Scientific Support Plan subjects, other national projects, including a national agricultural achievements project, and some projects in Shaanxi province. She has published over thirty academic papers and obtained 19 national patents, including 14 invention patents. She was a visiting scholar at the Civil Engineering and Environmental Department of Maryland University, USA. Her research topics mainly include hydraulic and construction materials, safety monitoring technology of hydraulics, aging analysis, and research on hydraulic structures.
Nguyen Van Quy holds a Master of Science (2019) and a Ph.D. (2023) from Northwest A&F University, China. Currently, he is a research assistant at the Southern Branch of the Vietnam-Russia Tropical Center, where he conducts cutting-edge research in forest ecology. His work focuses on understanding forest spatial structure, plant community dynamics, and the application of spatial point pattern analysis to ecological processes. With 35 ISI/Scopus-indexed publications to his credit, including contributions as both lead and co-author, he has established himself as an emerging expert in quantitative forest ecology. His research integrates field observations, statistical modeling, and geospatial techniques to uncover fundamental patterns in forest ecosystems, contributing to both theoretical and applied ecology.
