Achievements | My primary research expertise is in the field of environmental fluid mechanics, geophysical fluid dynamics and hydraulics with a particular emphasis on using numerical simulations of fluid flows. My students and I conduct fundamental cutting-edge research in environmental fluid mechanics (e.g., flow turbulence and modeling) related to broader applications in engineering, oceanography, and atmospheric science. Academic Qualifications: Postdocs in Estuarine and Coastal Hydrodynamics, University of California, Berkeley (Los Angeles, Santa Cruz), California, USA, 2018-2021 PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering (with a focus on Environment Fluid Mechanics), Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado, USA, 2017 MSc in Water Conservancy and Hydropower Engineering, Hohai University, Nanjing, Jiangsu, China, 2013 BSc in Water Conservancy and Hydropower Engineering, Hohai University, Nanjing, Jiangsu, China, 2010
