Research Experience
Honorary visiting scholar
Flinders University
Adelaide, Australia
Jan. 2024 - Present
Activities: Focused on coastal hydrology and surface-groundwater interactions, I developed a theoretically grounded yet practical method for estimating submarine fresh groundwater discharge (SFGD) in data-sparse settings. By integrating existing parsimonious techniques, this approach characterizes water fluxes in coastal aquifers, enabling rapid calibration and uncertainty analysis to support effective hydrological assessments.

Activities: Focused on advancing understanding in water quality remediation, tracer hydrology, and surface-groundwater interactions. By integrating statistical modeling, numerical simulations, and advanced data-driven techniques, I have developed a robust skill set to address complex hydrological challenges. My research bridges theoretical hydrological principles with practical applications, contributing to the effective management and preservation of water resources.
Ph.D. Candidate
University of Chinese Academy of Science
Beijing, China
Sep. 2016 - Jul. 2019
Activities: Investigated the impacts of hydrological regimes on the water environment of Poyang Lake using statistical methods and numerical simulations. Applied the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) framework to simulate runoff processes based on hydrological and meteorological data. Developed a two-dimensional water environment model using the Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code (EFDC) and coupled it with LSTM-simulated runoff to evaluate drivers of water environment changes.
Summer Intern
Chinese University of Hong Kong
New Territories, Hongkong
Jun. 2016 - Sep. 2016
Activities: Worked with Prof. Derrick Y.F. Lai on research focusing on biogeochemical cycles in wetland and forest ecosystems, greenhouse gas fluxes at the atmosphere-biosphere interface, and nutrient exchange processes at the sediment-water interface.
