Wanchao joined the group from Oct 2026 as a new PhD student supported by the University Scholarship (Fee Waiver) and CSC. His research is focused on systematically assessing coastal flood risks in major global coastal cities under conditions of accelerating relative sea-level rise, focusing on both extreme water level events and chronic high-frequency inundation.<\/p>\n
