Main work

Yu Xinwen, Ph.D., director of Internet of Things (IoT) Lab, Institue of Forest Resource Information Techniques (IFRIT), Chinese Acadamy of Forestry (CAF), chief expert of Forestry and Grassland IoT, executive member of China Computer Federation (CCF-TC) Computer Application, executive director of the Computer Branch of the Chinese Society of Forestry, secretary-general of the National Innovation Alliance of IoT & AI, one of the initiators of the 5G Smart Forestry and Grassland Joint Laboratory, a delegate to the 10th National Congress of Returned Overseas Chinese Citizens in 2018, and an executive committee member of the 1st Committee of the Overseas Chinese Federation of the National Forestry and Grassland Administration (since 2022).

In 2002, Prof. Yu Xinwen went to Japan International Research Central for Agricultural Sciences for postdoctoral research under the financial support of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS). Then he continued to study for many years as a special researcher, where he carried out research on technologies such as distributed image computing frameworks, distributed agricultural data grids, distributed agricultural data fusion and so on.

After returning to China, Prof. Yu Xinwen has been mainly engaged in the research of intelligent forestry and grassland areas, such as forestry IoT and forestry intelligent identification. He has presided over and participated in a number of National Key Research and Development Program of China projects, 863 program projects, 948 projects, industry public welfare projects, and institutional funds. His research focuses on ecological monitoring of national parks and nature reserves, biodiversity monitoring based on animal sounds, and monitoring of plantation forest growth and environmental information. In recent years, he has published more than 30 papers, obtained 12 relevant patents (1 international patent), more than 10 software copyrights, and developed 3 new products. He has won one Overseas Chinese Contribution Award-Innovation Achievement Award, one Liang Xi Forestry Science and Technology Award First Prize and one Second Prize, and one Guangxi Science and Technology Progress Award Second Prize.
