Ying Fan Reinfelder is a Chinese–American earth scientist who is a professor and researcher in the Rutgers University Institute of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences. She is interested in climate dynamics and the global water cycle. She was named a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union in 2022.
Early life and education
Reinfelder was an undergraduate student at the Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture.[citation needed] She moved to the United States for graduate studies, earning a master's degree in geography at the University of Utah. She was a doctoral researcher at Utah State University. Her doctoral research involved numerical investigations into groundwater flow in desert basins.[1] Her research considered density driven ground water flow in desert basins.[1] After earning her doctorate, Reinfelder joined Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a postdoctoral researcher. She also completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Princeton University.[citation needed]
Research and career
Reinfelder is a professor in the Rutgers University Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences.[2] Her research considers hydrology, and how water impacts the function and structure of planet Earth.[3]
In 2017, Reinfelder demonstrated that soil hydrology influenced global patterns of plant root depths.[4]
Awards and honors
- 2022 Elected Fellow of the American Geophysical Union[5][6]
- 2022 Elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science[7]
