Biography
I am currently an Assistant Professor with the Department of Land Surveying and Geo-Informatics (LSGI) , The Hong Kong Polytechnic University.
My research interests include interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) remote sensing for urban geohazards monitoring and modelling, urban geophysics (groundwater, coastal reclamation; landslides, built environment), and infrastructure health diagnosis. I am currently working on slope instability assessment in the forested and mountainous regions of Hong Kong, and the Greater Bay Area of China.
I received my PhD degree in Earth System and GeoInformation Science from the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2019. During 2018 and 2019, I was a visiting PhD at the Department of Earth and Planetary Science, University of California - Berkeley. I was a postdoctoral fellow with the Institute of Space and Earth Information Science (ISEIS), CUHK from 2019 to 2022, and Research Assistant Professor with LSGI, PolyU, from 2022 to 2024.
[Openings]
I am looking for highly motivated PhD students, Research Assistant (RA) and Postdoctoral Researchers who have research experience in InSAR, remote sensing, and other geodetic tools, with emphasis on slope safety monitoring, landslides risk assessment, coastal reclamation monitoring/modeling, etc.
Candidates with experience in numerical simulations, machine learning and geophysical modeling will be a priority.
Competitive salary will be provided.
