Principal Investigator
Dr. Mingfu Guan is Associate Professor at the University of Hong Kong with broad research interests in water-related natural hazard modelling. His research has been directed towards finding out ways to build natural hazard resilience in the context of climate change. His research interests include computational hydraulics, urban and catchment hydrology, blue-green infrastructures, climate change and their modelling techniques. He has been awarded prestigious UK EPSRC Fellowship in 2017, and is a member of UK EPSRC peer-review college and IAHR. He has served as an invited reviewer for UK NERC, ESRC and EU Synergy grants and over 30 high prestigious SCI journals.
