Rui Ying

Rui Ying is a Senior Research Associate at the School of Environmental Sciences, University of East Anglia. Their research focuses on plankton ecology, climate modeling, and coastal ecosystem dynamics, with a particular emphasis on foraminifera and Earth system processes. They develop computational tools like cgeniepy for analyzing climate models and contribute to interdisciplinary projects such as the Bristol CMIP6 data hackathon. Rui's work bridges marine biology, environmental science, and climate change impacts, addressing topics like the biological carbon pump and trophic interactions in coastal zones.

Key research themes include trait-based ecological modeling, symbiosis in planktic foraminifera, and the effects of environmental stressors on marine organisms, as seen in studies on shrimp immune responses and wastewater purification using algae. Their publications span from 2018 to 2025, reflecting a progression from bioremediation strategies to cutting-edge climate projections.
