Research interests
I am a computational hydrologist specializing in the water–land–climate nexus, with a focus on multiscale environmental modeling for resource assessment from regional to global scales. My work centers on developing robust parametrization schemes for water and matter transport, advancing seamless applications of process-oriented models such as the multiscale Hydrologic Model (mHM) and the multiscale Water Quality Model (mQM). By integrating process-based and data-driven approaches, I provide reliable assessments of environmental systems under changing climate and socioeconomic conditions. My research also addresses the growing risks of climate extremes like floods, droughts, and heatwaves, emphasizing their cascading impacts on water and food security, ecosystem health, and occasionally on related sectors like energy system resilience and human health. Through this work, I advocate for science-based strategies to safeguard freshwater resources and support resilient landscapes under global change.
