Dr Huang joined ESRI-USC in 2002 as a research scientist. Currently He is the principal developer for C-Graz Professional sponsored by NRCS-USDA. His current interests are focused on:

  • Biogeochemistry and ecology of wetland
  • GIS and Numerical modeling
  • Water quality and watershed modeling 
  • Software development for decision support system

He earned his PhD in Biology from University of South Carolina and the title of his dissertation is “Phosphorus Biogeochemistry in the Secondary Succession of Former Rice Impoundments on the Upper Cooper River, South Carolina”. He found that in the early successional stage primary production of freshwater marsh is limited by hydrological factors such as water depth and frequency, while in the late successional stage it is first limited by nitrogen followed by phosphorus. He also holds a M.E. degree in Computer Engineering from University of South Carolina.

Before coming to USC to pursue his PhD degree, he worked as a junior research scientist at Institute of Soil Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Nanjing, China. He has 5 years experience in Soil Science. As a soil scientist, he investigated the impacts of cropping systems on the soil fertility and quality.
