Research Assistant at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University • Supervisor: Prof. Li Mengying

• Scaling single-station atmospheric forecasting into a citywide spatial graph framework to capture localized cloud transmission and solar irradiance dynamics.
• Integrating multisource satellite imagery (Himawari-8/9, CAMS) with synthetic CSI.

Moody's & Imperial College London • Supervisors: Dr. Lluis Via-Estrem (Moody's), Prof. Matthew Piggott (Imperial)

• Developed deep latent surrogate models to learn complex wind-to-wave interactions during tropical cyclone landfalls.
• Emulated heavy numerical hydrodynamic and spectral wave solvers (MIKE 21) to enable rapid storm wave height estimation across coastal Florida.

Elevate Global (Hong Kong)

• Monitored real-time ESG risk incidents and supply chain sustainability metrics using automated data streams.
• Applied machine learning and NLP models to screen global news and regulatory datasets for emerging environmental risks.

Undergraduate Research at HKUST • Supervisor: Prof. Julian Mak

• Investigated Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF) techniques to mitigate initial condition sensitivity in non-linear Lorenz models.
• Explored parameter optimization strategies in sequential data assimilation to stabilize chaotic trajectory forecasts.
