About Myself......
I am currently a post-doc in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Princeton University working with Dr. Kelly Caylor. I am exploring the laser techniques on oxygen and hydrogen isotopes.
I got my Ph.D.from the Department of Environmental Sciences at the University of Virginia working with Dr. Stephen Macko and Dr. Paolo D’Odorico. My Ph.D. dissertation focuses on studying the nitrogen dynamics in African savanna ecosystems through isotope techniques (at both natural abundance level and enriched tracer level), greenhouse work, field manipulation and modeling exercises.
What is success?
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived; this is to have succeeded.

During April 6-11, 2008, I will attend “Isoscapes 2008″ meeting. I will present an invited talk entitled “Remote sensing of nitrogen and carbon isotope compositions in terrestrial ecosystems”.

On April 2, 2008, I successfully defended my PhD dissertation entitled “Soil biogeochemistry, aridity and plant adaptation responses in southern Africa savannas”.
