Dr. Mao Xiaomin, Associate professor
Dr. Mao Xiaomin was born in Shandong Province of China on December 22, 1971. She received the B.S. degree (1994), the M.S. degree (1996) and Ph.D. degree (1999) from Tsinghua University. She was doing post-doctoral research in Tsinghua University in 1999-2001, and working in the University of Edinburgh, UK as a research fellow in 2001-2006. She did research in CSIRO Land and Water, Perth, Australia in October to December, 2002 and in EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland in October to November, 2005 as a visiting scholar.
She worked as an Associate Professor in China Agricultural University since 2006.
Her research interests are mainly on the mechanism of water transfer in Soil-Plant-Atmosphere Continuum, principle and practice of water-saving agriculture in arid and semi-arid area, modeling of groundwater flow and contaminant transport especially in coastal aquifer. She has published over 70 papers, and now supervising 3 Ph.D. and 6 M.S. students in the field of hydrology & water resources and agricultural soil and water engineering.
She obtained the National Award of Science and Technology Progress by State Council in 2002 (rank: 10/10), by the project Research on Water Transformation in Oasis of Yarkand River Basin. In 2007, she was elected as the Education Ministry’s New Century Excellent Talents in University.
