Bio

Hi, this is Franklin. I'm currently a postdoctoral fellow from the HydroMet group at HKUST. My research interests lie in using Lagrangian tracking in understanding atmospheric water cycle and the monsoons, both regionally and globally. I'm also interested in extreme, hazardous weather systems like tropical cyclones and mesoscale convective systems (MCSs).
