I am recruiting two graduate students (PhD or Master’s level) to join the a.c.t. hydro lab in the Department of Geological Sciences at State University of New York at Buffalo in Fall 2025! I am seeking students interested in computational hydrology with a specific interest on developing and applying numerical modeling or AI/ML techniques to understand the changing hydrologic cycles in land-atmosphere interface as well as assessing the risks for water-related sectors. The specific research topics are flexible, but interests should fall within the current research themes in the lab. Check out our recent publications to see if your interests align with the lab. Given the quantitative focus of our research, I am particularly interested in recruiting students with a strong quantitative, statistical, mathematical, and/or computational background, or a strong motivation to learn and apply these skills in graduate school.

If you are interested, please reach out to me with a brief description of your background and research interests plus a CV (ycheng46 at buffalo dot edu). Interested candidates must apply online.
The deadline for online application (including recommendation letters) is December 15 2024.

We currently do not have openings for postdocs. If you are interested in the research topics in our lab and would like to seek postdoc fellowship opportunities, please feel free to send me an email with your CV and let's chat!

For UB undergrads: if you are interested in exploring research opportunities in computational hydrology, please feel free to send me an email with your CV. We can schedule a meeting to talk about potential synergy and opportunity.
