Xinnan is a lecturer from Nanjing Agricultural University in China, with a PhD degree in Geotechnical Engineering from Southeast University. Her doctoral work focused on the deformation behavior of underground structures at small strain of soil, monitoring of buried structures and related numerical analysis.
Xinnan is currently a visiting scholar at the University of California, Berkeley, where she is working on the electromagnetic transmission characteristics in soil based on wireless underground sensor network.
