Research Scientist
Tsinghua Innovation Center
05.2018 - 03.2019
- This study aims to improve the modelling of extreme flood inundations resulting from tropical typhoons and synoptic events
- Overall, this study uses state-of-the- art NWPs coupled with WRF- Hydro to uncover the climate change effects over the flood cycle and use this knowledge for practical applications such as levees, drainage, and culverts
- Building the vulnerable flood zone over Canada and the USA

Flood Consultant
12.2013 - 11.2013
- I worked closely with Berkshire Hathaway (USA office)
- My role in this position was to model Flood, build flood risk maps for USA and Canada, and compare them with JBA and Kat Risk data set
- The study involved understanding the factors that define flood vulnerabilities in the USA and Canada
- The project also involved Geo Coding the data from different data sources and Understandingthe
