Yujie Zheng
Assistant Professor
University of Texas at Dallas
I am an assistant professor at University of Texas at Dallas. My research focuses on developing and applying new techniques to analyze a combination of geodetic observations – primarily Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR), to better understanding changes of the Earth’s surface related to natural (e.g., active tectonics and volcanic processes, permafrost thawing/freezing) and anthropogenic processes (e.g., withdrawal of groundwater from aquifers).
Our group website can be accessed at https://labs.utdallas.edu/imaging-radar-lab/.
I am currently looking for a graduate student to start Fall 2026. If interested, please contact me via email.
