Yadian Wang
Graduate Visiting Researcher Student, Environmental Social Sciences
BioYadian Wang is a PhD Candidate in Landscape Architecture at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) and an exchange research scholar at Stanford University’s Doerr School of Sustainability. She holds a BLA, MLA, and MPhil in Earth Sciences, and served as an HKU PhD Ambassador (2024–2025). Her research sits at the intersection of landscape architecture, environmental design, Earth and geosciences, and sustainability science, focusing on how global environmental change reshapes human–environment interactions, landscapes, communities, and governance.
Yadian’s research at Stanford Doerr School investigates how environmental change and coastal development reshape landscapes, communities, and commons governance. Her work combines longitudinal geospatial analysis with institutional and socioeconomic perspectives to trace coastal transformation in the Philippines, examining how changes in shorelines, ecosystems, settlements, and infrastructure intersect with property rights, resource access, and local governance. Through this approach, she seeks to understand why coastal communities experience different trajectories of environmental change and how these transformations affect the governance and sustainability of common-pool resources. -
Yuan Wang
Assistant Professor of Earth System Science and Center Fellow, by courtesy, at the Woods Institute for the Environment
BioYuan Wang is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Earth System Science at the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability. He is also a Center Fellow in the Woods Institute for the Environment. Prior to joining Stanford, he was an Associate Professor at Purdue University and a research scientist at California Institute of Technology. His research group aims to advance the understanding of the physical and chemical interactions between atmospheric constituents and climate change. Specifically, his group conducts research related to aerosol-cloud-radiation interactions and their climatic implications, aerosol properties and haze formation, cloud and precipitation microphysics, and the assessment of the greenhouse gas and aerosol forcings on the atmosphere, ocean, and cryosphere. They develop and use multiscale numerical and AI models in combination with space-borne and in situ measurements to address those scientific questions. Yuan is a recipient of the James B. Macelwane Medal and James R. Holton Award from the American Geophysical Union, the Henry G. Houghton Award from the American Meteorological Society, and the CAREER Award from National Science Foundation.
