Tianyu Chen is a professor at the School of Earth Sciences and Engineering, Nanjing University. He graduated with a bachelor's degree from Nanjing University in 2007 and obtained his Ph.D. from GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, Germany, in 2013. He received "summa cum laude" for his Ph.D.degree and the Peterson Foundation Award for outstanding doctoral dissertation during his doctoral studies. From 2014 to 2017, he conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom. His research primarily focuses on the use of isotopes, as well as AI models, reactive transport models, and ocean circulation inverse models,to investigate oceanic biogeochemical cycles and Quaternary paleoceanography. As the first or corresponding author, he has published over 20 papers in journals such as Science, Nature Geoscience, Earth and Planetary Science Letters, and Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta. In recent years, he has been the principal investigator for projects including the Excellent Young Scholar Fund and Distinguished Young Scholar Fund of NSFC, subproject of Strategic Priority Research Program B of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the International Cooperation Research Project of NSFC, the Integration Project of NSFC Major Research Plan, and the National Key Research and Development Program project. In 2023, he was awarded the Liu Tungsheng Prize.

研究方向 Research Direction
主要利用各种类型的同位素特别是放射性同位素和金属稳定同位素体系、人工智能模型、反应迁移模型、海洋环流逆模型等多学科手段研究海洋系统在现代过程和过去气候变化中的碳与微量金属元素循环，包括三个方面：1.海洋生物地球化学与元素地球化学；2.第四纪古海洋学；2.海洋自生矿物地球化学。
I'm a geochemist employing a multidisciplinary toolkit—including various isotopic approaches, especially radiogenic isotopes, stable metal isotope systems, AI models, reactive transport models, and ocean circulation inverse models—to investigate the cycling of carbon and trace metal elements in the marine system during both modern processes and past climate change. This work focuses on three main areas: (1) marine biogeochemistry and elemental geochemistry; (2) Quaternary paleoceanography; and (3) marine authigenic mineral geochemistry.
