Engineering an Adaptive Landscape for British Biodiversity
Academic Profile
Shiyang is passionate about interdisciplinary research, with a focus on spatial ecological modelling across scales, from global to local. His research interests span land-use, biodiversity, climate, food systems, genomics, and genetics.
Currently, Shiyang is working on a project that explores landscape connectivity for British biodiversity in the context of climate change. He seeks to address key questions such as: What are the expected outcomes under climate change with a steady-state landscape? What role does connectivity play in this context? And how can we enhance connectivity to link the right areas effectively?
Before joining Oxford, Shiyang earned a master’s degree in Data Science from UCL, where he also completed his undergraduate studies in Mathematics.
