Researcher biography

I am a researcher in atmospheric and climate science, focusing on tropical cyclone detection and projection. I completed my Ph.D. at the City University of Hong Kong, where I studied the decadal variability of tropical cyclone activity over the Northwest Pacific and its connection with ocean-atmosphere interactions. Before that, I earned my M.Sc. in Meteorology from Lanzhou University and a B.Sc. in Atmospheric Science from Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology.

My current research revolves around three interconnected themes: simulating and predicting tropical cyclones, assessing their associated landfall hazards, and providing climate services to the public.
