Personal profile

Research interests

My main research interests include large sample hydrological data analysis, understanding and predicting extreme hydrological events in changing environments, developing flood estimation methods for ungauged catchments, hydrological process modelling.

Previous PhD work focused on constructing a flexible event runoff coefficients estimation framework, which have been verified over GB catchments, can be used for various regions and lay foundation for flood estimation in ungauged catchments. I am currently working on integrating groundwater model into a hydrological model. The main aim is to assess the impacts of human-water interactions on hydrological drought using the coupled surface-subsurface model.

In addition, I’m currently involved in projects on (1) the planning phase of flood and drought research infrastructure in the UK and (2) the phase 3 of National System Simulation Modelling (NSSM) Project funded by Ofwat. I’m working with colleagues from University of Oxford, UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH), British Geological Survey (BGS) and Environment Agency (EA).
