About
Main Research Interests
- High-Resolution Atmospheric Modeling: Evaluation and optimization of Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) models at very high resolution in complex terrain environments
- Valley Wind Dynamics: Advanced analysis of local wind patterns in mountainous and valley regions, focusing on unique meteorological phenomena in topographically complex areas
- Turbulence Parameterization: Development and optimization of turbulence schemes to better represent atmospheric boundary layer processes in high-resolution simulations
- Energy Exchange Processes: Investigation of surface-atmosphere energy exchange processes, particularly in complex terrain where traditional parameterizations may be inadequate
- Urban Climate Modeling: Multi-scale observational approaches to understand heat wave dynamics and urban heat island effects
- Climate Adaptation: Supporting sustainable urban development and climate resilience through improved atmospheric modeling and prediction capabilities
