Resume

Chen Yilin obtained his PhD degree in 2023 from the Institute of Zoology (IOZ), Chinese Academy of Sciences. Following 3 years postdoctoral career at IOZ, he assumed the position of associate professor in Feb. 2026 at IOZ.

Research Interests

My main research interests lie in the adaptability of species to environmental changes and predicting their response patterns to future changes. I am also interested in biological invasions and conservation biology.

Awards and Honors

The study of the adaptation of four montane birds to environmental change (NSFC No. 32401393)
