Yurui Fan

Dr. Yurui Fan is a Senior Lecturer in Flood and Coastal Engineering at Brunel University's Civil and Environmental Engineering department within the College of Engineering, Design and Physical Sciences. His work bridges cutting-edge hydroinformatics with climate change adaptation strategies.

• Key Affiliations: Brunel University, Royal Society-funded projects, Canadian institutions (University of Regina, NSERC, CFI)

Research Interests focus on four core areas:

• Water and environmental systems analysis using advanced computational models
• Hydroclimatic extremes through compound risk assessment frameworks
• Hydroinformatics integrating machine learning and copula methods
• Climate change impacts on water resources and infrastructure

Publication Trends show a strong emphasis on climate-water-energy-food nexus systems (7/15 articles), machine learning applications in hydrology (5/15), and copula-based uncertainty quantification (4/15). Recent work explores Bayesian Vine Copula approaches and multi-criteria optimization under dual uncertainties.

Awards & Grants include a Royal Society International Exchanges grant (2020-2022, £11.5k) and multiple Canadian funding sources like NSERC, CFI, and provincial ministries.
