Research
Interests & Specialties:
Research interests include air quality and climate
change.
Research
Experience:
Real-time Air Quality Forecasting over Southeastern US with
WRF/Chem-MADRID
• Applied WRF/Chem-MADRID model to do forecasts for air
pollutants (O3 & PM2.5) and meteorological variables during ozone season (May - Sep)
and winter (Dec - Feb).
• Visualized O3 mixing ratios and PM2.5 concentrations
over southeastern US in terms of spatial distribution and temporal variation. Analyzed
the forecasting result with discrete and categorical statistics against observation
datasets (AirNow for O3 and PM2.5, METAR and CastNet for meteorological variables).
The model tended to overpredict PM2.5 in both ozone season and winter, while gave
overprediction for O3 in ozone season but underprediction in winter.
• Future works will be focused on updating chemical
boundary condition inputs and emission inputs to optimize the forecasting
performance.
Working
Experience:
J.J. Wilbur Technical Service, LLC (Internship)
• Analyzed O3 and PM2.5 measurement data at U.S. embassy
sites from over 60 countries.
• Wrote quarterly air quality reports for embassy
sites.
Chongqing Academy of Environmental Science
(Internship)
• Participated in the project of air pollution in an
industrial park in Changshou District, Chongqing, visualized and analyzed the annual
variation of air pollutant (PM2.5, PM10, O3 and NOx) concentration from 2017 to
2019.
• Assembled reports about technologies tackling climate
change from environmental bureaus of all relatively developed provinces in
China.
• Participated in organizing environmental protection
activities in Chongqing Bashu Primary School to propagandize low-carbon lifestyle and
zero-waste city.
