Research Interests

I am studying ocean sciences with Professor Oliver Fringer using SUNTANS at Stanford University.

Numerical method:

accuracy and efficiency of nonhydrostatic pressure solver

Theoretical analysis:

available potential energy and internal wave energetics

Numerical simulation:

generation and evolution of internal tides in the Monterey Bay area

Model development:

one-way coupling of ROMS and SUNTANS

I studied atmospheric sciences with Professor Hui-Jun Wang when I was in China.

Climate variability and prediction

Atmospheric dynamics and circulation
