EDUCATION PhD Candidate, Civil and Environmental Engineering Princeton University, Princeton NJ Master of Arts, Civil and Environmental Engineering Princeton University, Princeton NJ Bachelor of Science, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, College of Physics Peking University, Beijing, China 09/2012-Present 09/2014 09/2008-07/2012 RESEARCH EXPERIENCE Assistant Researcher, Princeton University 09/2012-Present Advisor: Prof. Denise Mauzerall, joint in Civil and Environmental Engineering and the Woodrow Wilson School. Project I: Characterizing the radiative effects of black carbon internal mixing. (Finished) • Quantified a significant missing effect from the mixing of multiple aerosol species on global warming. • Developed a conceptual and hierarchical modeling framework of atmospheric radiative transfer process. • Presentation to be given at the American Geophysical Union Conference on 19 December 2014. • Publication in preparation to Geophysical Research Letters. Project II: Effective radiative forcing of black carbon due to internal mixing. (Ongoing) • Implementing a full internal mixing between black carbon, sulfate and organic carbon in a climate model. • To compare the magnitude of effective radiative forcing of black carbon with different internal mixing schemes and external mixing. Project III: Future renewable energy resource in China. (Ongoing) • To quantify the resource potential of wind and solar energy and its geographical distribution in the future may significantly vary from today due to climate change and air pollution mitigation in China. • Coordinating inter-departmental collaborations between Electrical Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, and the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory. Project IV: Risk of scaling up renewable energy on regional climate. (Future) • Large-scale installation of solar panels will significantly adjust surface albedo, surface energy balance and hydrological cycle. • It is important to understand the risk of regional climate impact against benefit of global climate mitigation. Senior Thesis Project, Peking University 09/2011-07/2012 Advisor: Prof. Junfeng Liu, College of Urban and Environmental Sciences Project: Effects of Tans-Eurasian Transport of Air Pollutants on Surface Ozone Concentrations over Western China. • Mitigation of anthropogenic emissions from Europe, the Indian Subcontinent and the Middle East will benefit public health and agricultural productivity in Western China. • Conducted sensitivity study using atmospheric chemistry model. • Publication accepted and forthcoming in Journal of Geophysical Research –Atmosphere.
