Work experience
- Develop a semiparametric weather generator which is a tool for (i) synthesizing weather for multivariate and multisite (ii) analyzing uncertainty in weather data.
- Link weather generator with crop model to study climate change impact on maize yield in pampus region, Argentina (Funded by national science foundation, USA)
- Apply weather generator for predicting weather-related highway construction delays in California and texas, USA (Funded by federal highway administration, USA)
- Apply non-parametric local polynomial estimator for analyzing flood frequency with mixed flood population
- Link weather generator with DSSAT model to study climate change impact on rice production in Thailand (Funded by Thailand research fund)
