Jiawei  specializes in fire-atmosphere modeling, studying how fires behave under various weather conditions. His work helps improve forecasts and response strategies. He is also interested in developing and applying atmospheric modelling tools for other forestry and environment related applications.

Research Interests:

• Atmospheric turbulence over complex terrain
• Fire-atmosphere interaction
• Numerical weather modeling
• Model development for pollution/seed dispersal and other airborne environmental applications.

Examples of Practical Application:

• Contributed to models that predict how fires spread under different atmospheric conditions, aiding response efforts.
• Helped build tools for ultra-fine resolution atmospheric modelling that is useful for predicting extreme fire behaviours over complex landscape
