Dr Jeff Chun-Fung LO

Dr Jeff Lo is playing an important role in operational numerical weather prediction systems (UM and WRF) implementation and high performance computing system administration and management in CCRS. His research focuses on Sumatra squalls and deep convective systems in Singapore and surrounding regions. His expertise also covers regional climate downscaling, atmosphere vegetation-land interactions, and air pollution and environmental problems in urban and coastal areas.
