Research interests

Linking coastal processes, risks, and resilience

01

Coastal Hazard Modeling

We simulate typhoons, waves, storm surges, and tides to understand and predict coastal hazards.

02

Compound Flooding

We examine interactions among storm surge, waves, rainfall-runoff, drainage systems, and coastal defenses.

03

Computational & Experimental Hydraulics

We combine numerical analysis and hydraulic experiments to investigate complex coastal and urban flows.

04

Climate Risk & Resilience

We assess socioeconomic impacts and explore pathways for climate adaptation and coastal resilience.
