معرفی
James Doss-Gollin is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Rice University. His research focuses on hydroclimatic dynamics, infrastructure resilience, and climate adaptation, leveraging statistical modeling, operations research, and physics-based approaches. He leads the Doss-Gollin Research Group, addressing challenges in water systems design, extreme rainfall modeling, and renewable energy systems optimization.
Education: Postdoctoral Scholar at Pennsylvania State University (2020–); Ph.D. in Earth and Environmental Engineering from Columbia University (2020); M.S. and B.S. in Mechanical/Environmental Engineering from Columbia and Yale.
Research Interests: Statistical-dynamical modeling of atmospheric rivers, decentralized water-energy systems resilience, and optimizing renewable energy storage. Key themes include quantifying climate adaptation risks, nonstationary rainfall trends, and infrastructure vulnerability under climate change.
Awards: NSF Graduate Research Fellowship, Columbia Themelis Fellowship, and multiple Yale travel awards. Current grants include NSF funding for flood resilience studies in rural Texas.
Advising: Mentors Yuchen Lu, a Ph.D. candidate studying nonstationary hydroclimate extremes. Collaborates on projects like TxRAIN and AGU conference sessions on multi-sector dynamics and urban flood risk.
Labs/Teams: Directs the Doss-Gollin Lab, advancing methods for spatially resolved climate risk assessment and participatory design of water infrastructure systems.
