Introduction: Dr. Qingling Zhang is a professor at the Sun Yat-sen University, China. He has served as a researcher and deputy director of the Space Information Research Center at the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, a research assistant and research scientist at Yale University, and a guest editor for the academic journal Remote Sensing. 

He has led and is leading multiple scientific research and international cooperation projects funded by the U.S. and Chinese government departments. The project he led under the Ministry of Science and Technology's key research and development program was endorsed by national leaders and adopted by local business management departments. He developed the MODIS Albedo Product Gap Filling Algorithm, which was adopted by NASA; proposed multi-source remote sensing image assimilation fusion algorithms, established the VANUI and NDUI urban indices, widely used in urbanization and its environmental response research. He served as a reviewer for the NASA Suomi NPP satellite scientist team in 2014. He has published two academic monographs and more than 50 SCI articles.

He is a recipient of the Sun Yat-sen University "Hundred Talents Program" academic leader in 2018, the Chinese Academy of Sciences "Hundred Talents Program" overseas academic leader in 2015, and Shenzhen "Peacock Talents" high-level overseas talent in 2015.
