Dr. Xing Yuan (袁星) is a professor in the School of Hydrology and Water Resources at Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology (NUIST). He received his B.S. degree in Information and Computing Science at Hunan University in 2004, and Ph.D. degree in Meteorology at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics at Chinese Academy of Sciences (IAP/CAS) in 2009. Before joining NUIST, he worked as a climate modeler at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign during 2009-2011, as an associate climate specialist at Princeton University during 2011-2014, and as a professor at IAP/CAS during 2014-2018. He is an Editor of Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, Associate Editor of Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, and Editorial Board of Hydrology Research.

Prof. Yuan’s research interests are primarily in the field of hydroclimatology, including land surface modeling, global change and water cycle, hydroclimate ensemble prediction, and attribution for extremes. He has authored 80+ peer-reviewed journal papers, including Nature Communications, BAMS, GRL, and WRR. His research on seasonal hydrological forecasting covers a variety of areas including multi-model ensemble, dynamical and statistical downscaling, and hydrological post-processing. Recently, Prof. Yuan’s group is working on hyper-resolution land surface modeling, sub-seasonal to decadal hydrological predictability and prediction, and attribution and projection of multi-scale droughts in the anthropocene. We welcome Ph.D. students and postdocs.
