I am a Post-doc in IDMR, a member of IAHR. I obtained a PhD in Hydraulics and River Dynamics from Sichuan University in 2021. I was a Joint Ph.D. visitor in Water Research Center, University of New South Wales, Australia during 2018 to 2019. My expertise is in the fields of hydraulic engineering, environmental fluid mechanics and water disaster research. My research is mostly experimental exploring in the laboratory and at full-scale to resolve applied and fundamental research challenges in hydraulic engineering and environmental engineering, with special focuses on air-water flow phenomena, environmental flows and mass transfer during complex flow processes.

Representative research results.
