Research
Major interactive factors such as climate change and human activities alter the Hydrological Processes at different scales in space and time. My research is trying to understand and quantify these impacts at river basin and river reach scales. Please click the two cartoon figures below to see details.
About Me
I received my PhD degree from the State University of New York, College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY-ESF) Water Resources Engineering program. After spending three years as a postdoc in the Land Surface Hydrology Group in the University of Washington, I joined the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) studying multiscale hydrologic modeling. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, biking, and traveling. I am also a passionate landscape photographer who takes great joy from capturing the beauty of the mother nature. Some of my works can be found here .
