Professor Chaohui Yin is an internationally recognized expert in environmental geography and urban ecology, as well as a senior scientist. She currently serves as Professor at the College of Resources and Environment, Henan Agricultural University. As a young leading scholar with significant academic influence in urban morphology, environmental effects, and multidisciplinary integration in the proactive health and broader health industry fields, she also serves as a member of the Climate Change Response Committee of the Chinese Society of Landscape Architecture, a member of the Science Popularization and Education Committee of the Henan Land Society, a member of the Science Popularization and Education Committee of the Henan Society of Natural Resources, and a Research Fellow at the Henan International Communication Research Center for Agricultural Culture and Landscape. Professor Yin has a strong background in international academic exchange and research collaboration. She previously served as a Senior Visiting Scholar at the Architecture Milieu Paysage Laboratory of École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Paris-La Villette in France, one of Europe’s leading institutions in architecture and landscape studies. She has long been committed to promoting academic dialogue and knowledge innovation between China and Europe in urban microclimate, sustainable human settlements, and ecological landscape governance.
As a frontier scholar exploring the complex relationships among geospatial environments, urban morphology, and population health, Professor Yin’s research focuses on three core areas: urban morphology and its environmental effects, agricultural geography, and health geography. With an international academic perspective, she has introduced multi-source geographic big data, spatial econometrics, and high-resolution ecological remote sensing models to systematically elucidate the internal coupling mechanisms between urban microenvironments and modern population health benefits. She has also made academically significant and internationally translatable contributions to agricultural heritage conservation, resilient urban–rural landscape planning, and climate change policy research. In academic publishing and peer review, Professor Yin remains highly active. She currently serves as a young editorial board member of the international academic journal Human Settlements and Sustainability and the national core academic journal Chinese Journal of Applied Ecology, actively contributing the frontier voice of Chinese environmental geography scholars to the international academic community.
With many years of dedication to frontier research and spatial ecological practice, Professor Yin has demonstrated outstanding performance in high-level international academic publication and research impact. Over the years, she has published 20 high-quality academic papers as first author or corresponding author in leading journals in China and abroad. Notably, two of her publications have been selected as ESI Highly Cited Papers, ranking among the top 1% globally. Her academic work has generated broad international citation and interdisciplinary discussion, with cumulative citations on Google Scholar exceeding 2,000. Owing to her outstanding scientific contributions to spatial environmental effects and health geography, her research has provided important scientific evidence for government decision-making in sustainable human settlement policy and green public health strategies.
