Shuchang Liu

I'm a second-year postdoctoral researcher at MIT (funded by Swiss National Science Foundation fellowship), working with Prof. Paul O'Gorman.
I completed my PhD in Atmospheric and Climate Science at ETH Zürich, advised by Prof. Christoph Schär, and hold a Master's degree from Tsinghua University and a Bachelor's degree from Nanjing University.
My research interests centers on improving regional climate projections through the combined use of high-resolution climate models and machine learning.
