Biography
Dr Di He is a research scientist and project co-leader at CSIRO in Canberra, Australia. She is a co-leader of the canola modelling team in the international Agricultural Modelling Improvement and Intercomparison Program (AgMIP). She received her PhD degree of crop-soil systems modelling through China Agricultural University (CAU) & CSIRO Joint PhD Research Project in 2017. Her research focuses on improvement and application of cropping systems models to address critical challenges in agricultural systems, especially in using the farming systems model (APSIM) to investigate GxExM interactions, the impact of extreme climate (frost and heat) and climate change on crop productivity and resource use efficiency in agro-ecosystems, modelling of water, carbon and nutrient cycling in agricultural systems. Di is recognised for her skills in combing expertise in soil-plant processes with advanced technology, e.g., machine learning, remote/proximal sensing, and crop phenotyping, to develop digital tools for better farm management decisions to increase farm productivity and climate resilience.
