1. Water and power infrastructure sustainability and resiliency assessment with data-driven modeling approach

• Developed a novel modeling framework to characterize the environmental and economic impacts of distributed urban water system.
• Built a resilience assessment framework to evaluate urban water and wastewater infrastructure under natural disasters.
• Established a climate risk analytics platform for building resilient electric power systems in Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT).

2. Large-scale Food-Energy-Water (FEW) Nexus study via a collection of physical, statistical, and geospatial modeling

• Developed novel integrated modeling framework to quantify the impacts of environmental stressors (e.g., climate change, water scarcity) on the U.S. energy and water sector.
• Developed reliability indicators tailored towards long-term planning of water storage infrastructure on global scale.

3. Integrated Assessment Model (IAM) development and human-natural system integration

• Contributed to the development of global hydrologic models in Global Change Assessment Model (GCAM).
• Assisted the development of key modules in human-natural system model integration.

4. Assessment of climate change impacts on water resources

• Analyzed hydrologic responses and drought development under different climate change scenarios for the Southern United States
