About
Shengli Zhu (Victor, 朱胜利)
I am a PhD student in hydrology at KAUST, working with Prof. Hylke Beck. My research focuses on how to observe precipitation, how it turns into streamflow in catchment, and how well hydrological models and machine learning can predict streamflow at global scale. For my master's study I simulated the hydrological processes of the Source Region of the Yellow River on the Tibetan Plateau with satellite precipitation products.
