Our Early Career Researcher (ECR) of the Month for October 2025 is Dr. Yiwei Jian!

Yiwei is a postdoctoral researcher, at Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research - UFZ, Germany. Yiwei’s recent research has been focusing on impact attribution in agricultural systems, with an emphasis on quantifying the role of anthropogenic climate change in crop yield anomalies and large-scale crop failures by integrating crop and climate models. Yiwei is particularly interested in the interplay between climate variability, agricultural productivity, and food security, aiming to inform resilience-building strategies for vulnerable farming systems.

Beyond her research interests, Yiwei enjoys playing badminton and baking tasty treats!
