Affiliate Researcher
Titles and Affiliations
Assistant Professor, Geography

Manzhu Yu’s research focuses on spatiotemporal theories and applications, atmospheric modeling, environmental analytics, big data and cloud computing, and the ability of using the above to solve pressing issues in natural hazards and sustainability. She hopes to continue to combat the life and economic costs associated with natural hazards by facilitating more accurate and timely analyses for extreme weather events. She has collaborated actively with researchers in several other disciplines of Geography, Environmental Science, and Computer Science, particularly on the interdisciplinary solutions for natural hazard management and the contributing physical and social factors of these natural hazards.
