Work
-
2025.03 - now Professor of Atmospheric Sciences
School of Atmospheric Sciences, Sun Yat-Sen University
My research centers on modeling and understanding Earth's surface processes, focusing on land surface water cycle, land surface model development, coastal hydrodynamics, and the application of stable isotopes. I utilize numerical models and isotopic tracers to investigate land-atmosphere interactions, simulate coastal processes, and gain insights into environmental dynamics.
-
2020.01 - now Collaborative Research Fellow
Institute of Industrial Science, University of Tokyo
My research explores Earth system dynamics through a multidisciplinary lens, combining meteorology, hydrology, data assimilation, and stable isotope techniques. I investigate atmospheric processes, land-atmosphere interactions, and utilize observational data and isotopic tracers to improve our understanding and predictions of Earth's climate and water cycle.

2019.09 - 2025.03 Associate Professor of Atmospheric Sciences
School of Atmospheric Sciences, Sun Yat-Sen University
My research centers on modeling and understanding Earth's surface processes, focusing on land surface water cycle, land surface model development, coastal hydrodynamics, and the application of stable isotopes. I utilize numerical models and isotopic tracers to investigate land-atmosphere interactions, simulate coastal processes, and gain insights into environmental dynamics.
-
2019.06 - 2019.11 Scientific Assistant
Soil and Terrestrial Environmental Physics (Emeritus), ETH Zürich
I investigated whether the improved estimation of soil hydraulic parameters (water retention and hydraulic conductivity) with addition injection of physical constraints and soil structure information improves land surface model performance.
-
2018.04 - 2019.03 Project Researcher
Institute of Industrial Science, University of Tokyo
I explored uncertainties in river routing due to precipitation, and examined dam operation impacts.
-
2016.03 - 2018.03 Postdoctoral Associate
Yale School of the Environment, Yale University
I developed an isotope-enabled large eddy simulation model. This involved integrating isotopic tracers into atmospheric simulations to enhance understanding of atmospheric processes and transport.
