Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Linyin Cheng is an Associate Professor at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. Her research focuses on hydrology and water resource management, with a particular emphasis on drought dynamics and prediction.

Cheng's work investigates the complexities of drought recovery patterns, using hybrid modeling approaches to predict water levels. She has explored the co-regulation of water and energy in drought resistance and resilience, examining how land-use intensity influences ecological restoration in regions prone to severe soil erosion. Her research also addresses the identification, probability estimation, and prediction of drought and pluvial events, considering observational uncertainty and the interplay between climate and watershed characteristics.

Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 21, with 42 total publications and over 3,257 citations. Cheng has served as Co-PI on two federal grants totaling $577,935. One grant, funded by the NIH/National Institute on Drug Abuse for $328,030, focuses on tunable multi-timescale cortical dynamics. The other, funded by the NSF for $249,905, is part of the AccelNet-Design initiative towards future U.S. urban resilience (Resilient-NET).

Cheng collaborates with researchers such as Yichan Li and Yaqian He. She maintains an active lab website and leads a research group.
