Dr Jianyu LIANG

Dr Jianyu Liang’s research focuses on radar quality control (QC), Quantitative Precipitation Estimation (QPE), and nowcasting at CCRS.

Dr Liang began his career studying severe weather simulation during his master’s degree. During his PhD, he investigated the impact of Saharan dust on tropical cyclones using the WRF-Chem model and by assimilating MODIS satellite observations. As a postdoctoral researcher, he specialised in data assimilation, including assimilating microwave radiance, developing machine-learning-based observation operators, and researching non-Gaussian data assimilation methods.

With extensive experience in numerical weather prediction, data assimilation, machine learning, and atmospheric data analysis, Dr Liang aims to advance radar QC, QPE, nowcasting, and seamless forecasts across multiple timescales for Singapore.
