Vice-President 2011–2019
I am Chair Professor of GIS, Director of Ministry of Education Key Laboratory for GIS, and Dean of the School of Resources and Environmental Science at Wuhan University, China, which is regarded as China’s base for cartography education. I am leading China’s largest, longest, and most productive cartography and GIS program in the world’s largest educational institute for surveying and mapping (formerly Wuhan Technical University for Surveying and Mapping), and have actively participated in the international cartographic community since 1990s. I have a family of cartographers and GIS specialists, which makes both my life and work cartography-centric.
