Civil Engineering City University of Hong Kong in Hong Kong

Hong Kong Polytechnic University’s Zhang Group is advertising PhD and postdoc openings in Hong Kong focused on urban heat islands , urban climate prediction , and the impacts of extreme heat on cities. The research combines Earth system and climate modeling (including CESM and WRF ) with machine learning to study how vegetation cooling and advanced heat-mitigating materials can reshape urban environments. A major theme is quantifying the real health, energy, and economic costs of extreme urban h...
