I attended the AGU25 Annual Meeting in New Orleans and presented my research on tropical cyclone clusters. [Slides]
Invited by ByteDance and the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, I joined Nobel Week 2025 in Stockholm, Sweden. At the Nobel laureates' press conference, I spoke briefly with 2025 Physics laureates Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis. They told me that asking good questions and valuing human creativity matter most for scientific research in the age of AI. I also happened to meet Fred Ramsdell, a 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine laureate, at the Nobel Prize Museum. Event record
I was awarded the National Scholarship for PhD students. Award total: ¥30,000
The World Meteorological Organization published a feature on our Nature Climate Change study, highlighting the emergence of the North Atlantic as a hotspot for tropical cyclone clusters.
Fudan University published a feature story on ZQA Weather Hub of China (中气爱) and our science communication work.
I went on an exchange to the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego, as a Visiting Graduate, working with Prof. Shang-Ping Xie.
Prof. Wen Zhou led us to the Iceland for the China-Icelandic Arctic Cooperation Research Expedition, where we observed the aurora!
I joined a live interview on Shanghai Television to discuss Shanghai heat and severe convective weather.
Invited to speak at the centenary symposium of Acta Meteorologica Sinica, I gave a talk titled “AI and Meteorological Science Communication: Opportunities and Challenges from ZQA.”
Check our new study in Journal of Climate! Our findings offer a comprehensive view to better understand the spatial diversity of MTCE over the WNP.
Check our new study in Nature Climate Change! Our results identify La Niña-like warming pattern as the main culprit that drove tropical cyclone cluster hotspots from the western North Pacific to the North Atlantic in recent decades.
I attended the AOGS2025 Annual Meeting in Singapore and gave an oral presentation on tropical cyclone clusters. [Slides]
Invited by the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, I gave a talk on research insights from ZQA's meteorological science communication work.

I attended the AOGS2024 meeting in Pyeongchang, South Korea, and won the Best Student Poster (BSP) Award. [Poster]
I attended the 2024 PhD Student Forum on Climate Change in Nanjing University, and won the Best Oral Presentation Award.
Invited by the Shanghai Meteorological Service, I gave a public science lecture at the Shanghai Meteorological Museum on integrating meteorological research and science communication through the work of ZQA Weather Hub of China.
Invited to the 2024 Shanghai Science Festival, I walked its inaugural metaverse science red carpet as a science communicator.
I attended the 9th Young Scientist Forum of Earth Science in Xiamen, and won the OSPA.
Check out our new and cover paper in Science Advances! We show that Pakistan is a "sweet spot" for heavy rainfall there to perturb the westerly jet, leading further to persistent heatwaves in East Asia downstream.
I have been selected to receive an Outstanding Student Presentation Award (OSPA) of AGU2023 meeting.
Our science communication team, ZQA Weather Hub of China, was named one of Bilibili's Top 100 Content Creators of 2023, and I was honored to represent the team at the award ceremony. [Video]
2023＋
I attended AGU2023 fall meeting in San Francisco, and had an oral presentation about the dynamic pathway linking Pakistan flooding to East Asian heatwaves. [Slides]
I started to set up my personal website.
I began my Ph.D. in Atmospheric Sciences at Fudan University under the supervision of Prof. Wen Zhou.
I graduated from Fudan University after four unforgettable years. Before graduation, I was fortunate to be selected as one of Fudan's 2023 Graduation Stars, the university's highest honor for graduating undergraduates. It was a meaningful way to close an important chapter of my life, and one that I owe in no small part to the teachers, friends, and classmates I met along the way.
