Prof. Dr. Xinlian Liang received the Doctor degrees with honors in Geoinformatics from Aalto University, Espoo, Finland, in 2013. In 2016, he received a title of Docent at the University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland. He joined the Wuhan University in 2021. Previously, he was a research manager in the Finnish Geospatial Research Institute (FGI).
Dr. Liang's main research interest lies in the quantitatively understanding forest 3D structures, characteristics, and their roles in nature such as the carbon and nutrient fluxes, the energy and water cycles, as well as the biodiversity and climate changes. In past twenty years, he had collected rich experiences on forest digitization with a wide spectrum of technologies including the laser scanning, optical images, as well as multi- and hyper-spectral sensors, from terrestrial, mobile, UAV, aerial, and satellite perspectives.
His references in science are represented by a series of highly citied papers, e.g., ESI hot/highly cited paper (0.1% top cited paper in Geosciences, in ISPRS Journal 2016, first author; 1% top cited paper in Geosciences, in ISPRS Journal 2018, first author), Google scholar matrix paper (in IEEE TGRS 2012, first author), and most downloaded paper (in IEEE TGRS 2015, first author). He has an H-index 32 (ISI) and 40 (Google Scholar). Dr. Liang's publication list includes over 100 peer reviewed papers (90+ in ISI Web of Science). Since 2016, he has supervised 20+ Postdoc, PhD, and master students. Dr. Liang was listed in the World's Top 2% Scientists ranking by Stanford University in 2021 and 2022 (Top 1% in 2022).
Dr. Liang is actively involved in the international research community. He was the Chair of the Working Group III/1 'Thematic Information Extraction', the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS), 2016-2022. Since 2022 he is chairing the Working Group III/1 'Remote Sensing Data Processing and Understanding'. He is the Associated Editor of Forest Ecosystems and Editor of Geo-spatial Information Science as well as Remote Sensing (all web of science listed). He is also the Guest Editor of Remote Sensing of Environment.
