ZHANG Wanliang

Wanliang Zhang is a Research Fellow at the Urban Climate Design Lab, Department of Architecture, NUS. He obtained his PhD from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and holds an MSc in Engineering Fluid Mechanics from Imperial College London and a BEng (Hons) from The University of Sydney.

Wanliang Zhang’s research focuses on (i) numerical modelling of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) in mesoscale weather models, such as WRF; (ii) coupling ABL parameterizations with urban canopy models; (iii) evaluating Monin–Obukhov Similarity Theory (MOST) using Doppler wind LiDAR; and (iv) large-eddy simulation of airflow and turbulence in highly urbanized areas. By advancing the understanding and prediction of urban atmospheric processes, his research seeks to inform climate-responsive urban design and planning.
