I originally focused on hydrology during my B.S. studies at Hohai University (2022) and later my M.S. at Nanjing University (2025). Through this work, I found that much of the uncertainty in hydrological prediction arises from atmospheric processes and other components of the Earth system, which motivated me to shift my focus toward atmospheric dynamics and prediction. Currently, I am interested in leveraging artificial intelligence, particularly generative AI, to better understand and simulate the Earth system.
