Beijing Fang

Dr. Beijing Fang is a postdoctoral researcher at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) in Leipzig, Germany. He works in the Department of Computational Hydrosystems under the leadership of Prof. Jakob Zscheischler, focusing on multi-hazard climate events including heatwaves, flash droughts, and floods.

• Doctor of Civil Engineering, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (2018-2022)
• Master of Hydrology and Water Resource, Tsinghua University (2016-2018)
• Bachelor of Hydrology and Water Resource Engineer, Sichuan University (2012-2016)

His research explores spatial compound flooding patterns across Europe, analyzing spatiotemporal connections, flood event characteristics, and climate drivers like precipitation, temperature, and soil moisture. He employs interpretable machine learning techniques and climate modeling to understand compound environmental risks under global warming scenarios.

The articles reflect expertise in flood risk assessment, climate science, and environmental informatics with specific focus on:

• European flood patterns
• Evapotranspiration dynamics
• Heatwave analysis
• Weather whiplash phenomena
• Flash drought intensification
