Biography

Dr Enli Wang is a Chief Research Scientist and project leader at CSIRO in Canberra, Australia. He is an associate editor of the international journal Field Crops Research, a leader of the canola modelling team in the international Agricultural Modelling Improvement and Intercomparison Program (AgMIP). He received his PhD degree in ecology at Technical University of Munich, Germany. His research focuses on productivity and environmental impact of farming systems, crop physiology, genotype x environment x management interactions (GxExM), and modelling of water, carbon and nutrient cycling in soil-plant-atmosphere systems.
