- Assistant Professor in Data Science and Environmental Analytics, University of Manchester
I am the Co-Lead for Environmental Data Science and AI at Manchester Environmental Research Institute (MERI, The University of Manchester), an Editor for Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (ACP, a leading journal in atmospheric sciences), and Vice Chair of the American Meteorological Society (AMS) Artificial Intelligence (AI) Committee.
I am passionate about learning and solving practical problems using Data Science (DS), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Cloud Computing, and High-Performance Computing (HPC). My work focuses on computational modeling, model–data fusion, and spatiotemporal analysis of (1) urban weather and climate, (2) air quality and atmospheric aerosols, and (3) complex agriculture-environment nexus systems.
