I work on enhancing climate risk assessments and disaster resilience in built and environmental systems.
My focus is mainly on improving traditional perspectives centered on multi-scale hydroclimate systems analysis under three synergistic core areas:
1) Understanding multisectoral-multiscale risks associated with natural and built environments exposed to hydroclimate extremes (e.g., floods, droughts, extreme precipitation events, heat/coldwaves),
2) Adapting stochastic decision models to enhance climate resilience in infrastructure systems and ecosystems in response to hydroclimate variability and climate change impacts, and
3) Integrating process-based insights with ensemble-based frameworks to assess the climate vulnerability of infrastructure systems and the public well-being.
These pathways will ultimately help reach optimal and/or robust sequential decision-making under uncertainty, addressing critical challenges in systems planning and management, climate adaptation, sustainability, and natural hazards.
