I am a Master's student set to graduate in June 2024 from the College of Hydrology and Water Resources at Hohai University, China's premier institution for water studies. My present research primarily focuses on the application of deep learning in urban flood and catchment streamflow predictions.
Additionally, more of my thoughts are documented here.
