My working interests include:

Ocean modelling: understand the roles of ocean circulation in the climate system with numerical ocean general circulation model.

Tracer oceanography: study ocean ventilation, infer ocean carbon storage, and estimate water mass transport by applying statistical models with observed and simulated anthropogenic tracers (e.g., CFCs) .

Radioactivity in marine environment:  estimate the sources, spreading, and diffusion of anthropogenic radioisotopes (e.g., Iodine-129, Uranium-236) in the ocean with observed and simulated radionuclides.

Lagrangian particle tracking: understand the ocean horizontal gyre circulation and meridional overturning circulation from the Lagrangian perspective by tracking water parcels.

Tools for model diagnostics and benchmarking: develop tools and workflow for managing, post-processing, diagnose and benchmark big datasets generated by earth system models.
