Research and expertise
Coupled Human And Natural Systems (CHANS) modelling; Agent-based modelling (ABM); hydrodynamic modelling; Reinforcement learning. My research concerns human activities during hazardous events. I develop simulation tools to predict and assess the hazard risk of individual and organisational behaviours using agent-based modelling (ABM) and AI technologies.
Current research activity
- GCRF Living Deltas Research Hub, Work Package 2: Delta SES characterization and risk assessment (01/2020 - present)
- Attended the EGU General Assembly 2023, Vienna, Austria. Did a poster presentation of “A CHANS model to directly consider human activities in flood risk assessment” in Delta and Estuarine Risk and Resilience in changing climate session
- Attended the Living Deltas Hub Dialogue Series: Tools for Enhancing Anticipatory Capacity - from Arts to Modelling. Did an oral presentation of “A Coupled Human And Natural Systems (CHANS) Model with Agent-based Modelling for Flood Risk / Impact Assessment”
Profile
I completed my BEng in Water Science and Engineering at Chongqing University, China (2014-2018), and earned my MSc with distinction in Water and Environmental Management from the University of Bristol, UK (2018-2019).
Currently, I am a PhD researcher in Water Engineering at Loughborough University (since 2020). My academic journey reflects a deep commitment to understanding and solving water-related challenges, with a focus on sustainable and innovative solutions in the field.
