Bio

I am currently a PhD candidate at the Laboratory of Hydrology and Water Management-Ghent University. I obtained my bachelor degree in Wuhan University. During my Master and PhD studies at Wuhan University, I have worked on the modelling of hydrological partitioning (i.e., precipitation-runoff-baseflow). I used interpretable machine learning methods to have a deepen understanding of how catchment characteristics control hydrological partitioning. And I proposed an analytical baseflow coefficient curve for depicting the spatial variability of catchment baseflow. Now, I am working on the response of runoff components to climate and vegetation change at global scale.
