He got a Bachelor degree and a Master degree from Anhui Agriculture University in 1994 and Huazhong Agriculture University in 1997, respectively. In 2000 he got a Ph.D in soil microbiology from the Institute of Soil Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Experience
Work Experience
After his Ph.D, Haiyan Chu has been in Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences and National Institute for Agro-Environmental Sciences in Japan for 4 years, then he has been Queen’s University, Canada for 3 and half years. In August 2010, he went back to the Institute of Soil Science under the Hundred Talent Program of the CAS.

Research Interests
Prof. Chu’s research interests are soil microbiology and biogeochemistry. He mainly focuses on microbial community composition and functioning in agricultural soils as well as in cold terrestrial ecosystems like Tibetan plateau, Arctic and alpine tundra, and the responses and feedbacks of microbial communities to climate change.
Collaboration
He has developed close collaborations with scientists in Canada, Japan and USA, and institutions in China.
Students
3 Master students and 2 Ph.D students
