Bio: Dr. Thu Ya Kyaw is a remote sensor and tree physiologist. His experienced research domains are tree physiology, multi- and hyperspectral remote sensing, quantifying forest and land cover changes, GIS-based spatial analysis, groundwater quality, and short rotation woody crops for bioenergy.

His current postdoc research focuses on urban tree responses to heat. It includes intensive field data collection and laboratory analysis of physiological traits as well as remote sensing measurements to understand how increased temperature affects the physiological mechanisms of urban tree species and how they respond to these stresses across different land cover types.
