Biography

I'm a senior research scientist at APEP and have more than 10 years of experience leading and conducting researches in atmospheric modeling including meteorology, air quality, and emission projections. My research activities involve the optimization of air quality model performance based on up-to-date knowledge in atmospheric modeling, designing the emission inventory based on technology pathways and mitigation policies, modeling the air quality-related social and economic impact. I have published more than 20 peer-reviewed acticles with more than 400 citations. My research work on aerosol mixing state modeling has been awarded with the Jean BRICARD prize in 2016.
