Hello and welcome! I’m a PhD student in the Department of Geographical Sciences at the University of Maryland, College Park, working with Dr. Dongdong Wang. My research focuses extensively on leveraging deep learning and advanced analytical methods to interpret Earth system dynamics.
In my PhD, I’m working on projects combining satellite data, real-world measurements, and radiative transfer models (RTM). I use machine learning to improve the estimation and forecasting accuracy of surface Downward Shortwave Radiation (DSR). Now, I’m looking into machine learning that integrates physical laws to improve how we understand environmental changes.
Before I joined UMD, I graduated with a B.E. from Wuhan University, China, and a B.S. from the University of Waterloo, Canada.
