I launched a WeChat public account called Extreme Science!
HomepageOn February 22, 2025, I launched a WeChat public account called Extreme Science, focusing on extreme hydroclimatic events such as wildfires and heatwaves. The goal is to share original research, cutting-edge developments in the field, and practical resources.
The primary motivation behind creating this platform was to document my research progress and keep a record of technical challenges and solutions I encounter in daily work. I’ve found it to be a helpful way to revisit knowledge, skills, and ideas.
As of today (August 3, 2025), the account has attracted 944 followers and accumulated over 10,000 total reads—an encouraging milestone that motivates me to keep going.
I am an early-career climate scientist pushing the boundaries of understanding wildfires and climate extremes using hydroclimatic, data-driven, and geostatistical approaches. My work has led to step-changes in understanding the synchronicity and persistence of extreme fire weather, factors that strongly influence extreme fires.
I work with Prof. John Abatzoglou, who leads the Climatology Lab at University of California, Merced.
