معرفی
Dr. Shasha Han is an Assistant Professor in Physical Geography (Hydrology and Water Resources) at the University of Birmingham, affiliated with the School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences (GEES). She is actively engaged in research, teaching, and supervision, with a strong focus on flood forecasting, hydroclimatic extremes, and climate change impacts.
- PhD in Hydrology and Water Resources – McMaster University, 2019
- MSc in Environmental Science – Beijing Normal University, 2014
- Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education (PGCHE) – University of Birmingham, 2024
Dr. Han's research centers on enhancing probabilistic flood forecasts, investigating flood non-stationarity, and advancing hydrological process understanding under human and natural influences. Her work spans uncertainty analysis, urban hydrology, machine learning in hydrology, and climate extremes and health. She integrates data science with physical modeling to improve flood prediction and risk assessment.
Her recent publications demonstrate a consistent focus on flood modeling under climate change, urbanization impacts on river flow, and probabilistic forecasting systems. The research trends highlight a strong interdisciplinary approach combining hydrology, climatology, and data science to address evolving flood risks in the UK and globally.
- Fellow of Advance Higher Education Academy
Dr. Han leads multiple funded research projects, including NERC and NIHR grants, and supervises several PhD students and postdoctoral researchers. She serves as a module lead for Quantitative Analysis of Hydrological Processes and Hydrology and Geomorphology, and acts as a personal tutor and dissertation supervisor. Her research group includes PhD students working on groundwater-surface water interactions, flood futures, machine learning for flood forecasting, and flood risk in India.
She is actively involved in academic service as a reviewer for journals such as Water Resources Research and Journal of Hydrology, convener of EGU sessions, and member of professional societies including the British Hydrological Society, EGU, AGU, and IAHS.
