Amilcare Porporato is the Thomas J. Wu '94 Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering in the High Meadow Environmental Institute at Princeton University. His main research focuses on nonlinear and stochastic dynamical systems hydrometeorology soil-atmosphere interaction soil moisture and plant dynamics soil biogeochemistry and ecohydrology. He is author of more than 200 peer-reviewed papers. He is co-author of Ecohydrology of Water Controlled Ecosystems (Cambridge University Press 2004) and co-editor of Dryland Ecohydrology (Springer 2005). Porporato's awards include the Arturo Parisatti International Price by the Istituto Veneto di Scienze Lettere e Arti; the Earl Brown II Outstanding Civil Engineering Faculty Award; the Hydrology award from the American Geophysical Union; and the Dalton Medal from the European Geoscience Union. Jun Yin is a Professor of Hydrometeorology at Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology China. His research focuses on the exchange of water and energy between soil plants and the atmosphere. He received the Outstanding Paper Award in 2019 from the China Water Forum and the Jiangsu Specially-Appointed Faculty Award in 2020 from the Jiangsu Education Department. He has co-organized two minisymposia sessions for the annual meeting of the International Society for Porous Media.
