Mr CHIA Zhong Yi
Mr Chia Zhong Yi’s current project focuses on the impact of weather conditions on the performance of solar photovoltaics. His other duties also involve numerical modelling of aerosol dispersion in Southeast Asia. Prior to joining CCRS, he was a master student studying atmospheric and oceanic sciences. His master thesis is about the mutual interactions between extratropical cyclones and deep convection revealed by a series of idealized moist baroclinic wave experiments.
