Research interests
I am a computational hydrologist specializing in the water–land–climate nexus, with a focus on multiscale environmental modeling for resource assessment at regional to global scales. My work centers around developing robust parametrization schemes for water and matter transport (Quantity and Quality), 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-analytic approaches, I aim to 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. Overall, I advocate for science-based strategies to safeguard freshwater resources and support resilient landscapes under global change.
