My research focuses on hydrology aiming to improve our understanding of subsurface water circulation. This mainly related to landslide activity and discharge generation, specializing in quantifying preferential flow and linking it to slope stability and displacement. I have a strong interest in risk management and communication. Furthermore, I use stable water isotopes (2H, 18O)and develop and apply innovative tracers such as DTS using Fibre Optic Cable and synthetic DNA for hydrology.

I am a hydrologist motivated by fundamental and applied questions about glacier hydrology, landscape hydrology, ecohydrology, and socio-hydrology. My approach combines field observation, mathematical modelling, and statistical analysis of large sample data that spans hydrological, ecological, meteorological, and geographical sciences. I earned my Ph.D. on hydrology and water resources in the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences at the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands in 2015, in consultation with prof. dr. ir. Hubert Savenije. In my postdoc research at Arizona State University from 2015 to 2018, I created a physically-based modelling tool to quantify the potential for wetland restoration to restore desired flows (hydrology), and a financial framework for comparing its cost-benefit with heightening an existing dam (economy). From February 2018, I am a research professor on hydrology at East China Normal University (ECNU), in Shanghai. I have conducted many research and teaching activities focusing on the development of more advanced hydrological models. I have published 31 peer-reviewed articles, and 15 papers of them are as first author or corresponding author, e.g. in Scientific Report, GRL, WRR, HESS, HP etc. In professional service, I reviewed around 60 papers for academic journals, e.g. Science. I have been invited to give guest lectures and presentations at many institutes. Also I have lead three research projects as PI, and participated three research projects as an important member, including a funded NSF proposal ($2.5M). I am conducting a research project to develop a modeling framework to couple glacier hydrology model with a bunch of glacier response models to predict streamflow variation in future and quantify their uncertainties, with funding support from NSFC.

After having obtained a PhD degree in Physical Geography (with a focus on catchment hydrology) at the University of Strasbourg (France) in 2000, I joined the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) as a hydrologist. My efforts have been geared since then to gradually build a lasting research infrastructure, including a dense instrument network for monitoring hydro-meteorological variables across a wide range of clean and mixed geological settings in the Alzette River basin in Luxembourg. My strategy consisted in focusing on the water cycle and interdisciplinary approaches for overcoming the prevailing status quo in our understanding of water source, flowpaths and transit times, flood generation, as well as water pollution fate and transport. This strategy also consisted in building a critical mass of junior and senior researchers, project leaders, technicians and students for covering various complementary fields of expertise (hydrochemistry, geology, remote sensing, environmental modelling, etc.). With progress in hydrological sciences having been largely thwarted by the spatial and temporal complexity of involved processes, I believe the advent of new technologies, interdisciplinary approaches, concepts and models to be key pillars for designing and implementing new strategies for a sustainable management of water resources exposed to global change. Hydrology remaining a field that is measurement limited – even more so in remote areas and/or characterized by cold climates, I have always advocated the exploration of innovative research avenues: e.g. measuring rainfall via microwaves emitted by cell phone relay antennas (in collaboration with telecommunication companies and cities), tracking rapid water flow paths with terrestrial diatoms as biological tracers (an idea since then picked up by fellow research teams elsewhere in Europe), or building a small-sized portable mass spectrometer for measuring stable isotopes of O and H in water.
