I develop physics-grounded, uncertainty-quantified models that integrate turbulence theory with generative machine learning to understand and predict the dynamics of environmental and engineered systems. Turbulence serves as the unifying framework of my research: it governs particle transport, shapes riverine and landscape morphodynamics, regulates heat and mass transfer, and influences atmospheric boundary-layer processes and climate extremes.

My research sits at the intersection of:

  • Turbulence and fluid dynamics
  • Generative machine learning and data science
  • Hydrology, sediment transport, and geomorphology
  • Heat and mass transfer and data-center cooling

I am a Full Professor at Wuhan University, working at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence, Hydrology, and Fluid Dynamics. Previously, I was a Research Scientist at the Data Science Institute at Columbia University, where I led the Machine Learning for Data Assimilation project within LEAP — an NSF Science and Technology Center for Learning the Earth with AI and Physics. Prior to joining Columbia, I earned a Ph.D. in Fluid Dynamics and an M.S. in Computer Science from Duke University in 2023. I also completed an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering at Cornell University in 2019, following my first U.S. degree in Environmental Engineering at Northwestern University in 2018.
