I am seeking Masters and PhD students to join my Climate and Weather Extremes Lab in Fall 2025 or Spring/Fall 2026. Please also find more details in my .
Research Interest
My Climate and Weather Extremes Lab combines advanced data mining techniques with climate dynamics to address real-world problems, with two interconnected objectives. First, advancing the fundamental insight of climate and weather extremes, with specific interests in Atmospheric Rivers and their changes in a warming climate. Second, bridging the physical and social dimensions in facing climate change challenges.
Please visit my website for details about my research.
