CW3E Welcomes Dr. Yanbo Nie

November 22, 2024

Yanbo Nie joined CW3E as a postdoctoral scholar on November 18, 2024.

Yanbo earned his B.S. degree in atmospheric science from Lanzhou University in 2019, and his Ph.D. degree in meteorology from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2024. His previous research focused on the mechanisms and prediction of extreme precipitation. He investigated the intraseasonal atmospheric processes associated with extreme precipitation events over Southwest China and the oceanic drivers of their interannual to decadal variability using various statistical tools, diagnostic methods, and numerical experiments. He also developed machine learning- based models to improve subseasonal and seasonal prediction of extreme precipitation in this region.

At CW3E, Yanbo will work with the machine learning team. He will lead the development of machine learning models to assess the impact of inundation on protected species habitats. Additionally, he will contribute to ongoing developments in the AI data-driven ensemble prediction of weather extremes.
