Research Fellow School of Environmental Science and Engineering
Linfeng FAN, PhD in Environmental Science at ETH Zurich (Switzerland), MSc in Engineering Geology at the Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Acedamy of Sciences. His research interests include: (1) Surface water-groundwater-climate interactions; (2) Water-Food-Energy nexus; (3) Rainfall-induced landslide triggering. He aims to improve the understanding of the water-energy cycles in the Earth system and its relevance to human society. His resaerch tools include mainly numerical models supplemented by field observations and laboratory experiments.
