Dr. Lei Zhao is an assistant professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and an assistant professor affiliated with the National Center of Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). His research concerns the physical and engineering processes in the Atmospheric Boundary Layer, where most human activities and environmental systems are concentrated, focusing on built surfaces and urban environments. He combines theory, numerical modeling, remote sensing and in situ observations, and cutting-edge AI/ML methods to study environmental fluid mechanics and land-atmosphere interaction related to urban environments, climatology and hydrology, climate change, climate impacts, and adaptation. You can read more about his research group and about his career with AGU.
