About me
Hi, I’m Nuo Chen. I’m currently a Ph.D student at the Deparmnet of Civil Engineering, the University of Hong Kong (HKU) under supervised by Prof. Clarence E. Choi.Before starting my Ph.D study, I also had a M.Sc degree from HKU and obtained my B.Eng degree from Central South University (CSU) which was advised by Prof. Jiren Xie.
My current research aims to: (1) track buried objects under debris flow through different physical scales and provide reliable disaster reponse to the urgent needs of society; (2) develop scientific machine learning tools for landslide/debris flow early warning and reconstruction.
