Since 2016, Dr. Hu has worked as a Research Associate in the Institute of Soil and Water Conservation, Northwest A&F University from 2016. Her research interests include soil erosion processes and carbon cycling, with a special focus on the slope-scale sediment behavior in-transit from eroding to depositional site, and the thus induced perturbs to carbon biogeochemical cycling.
