Hi! I am Shuping LI, a land surface model developer and hydrologist

Since October 2024, I worked as a Project Researcher at Insititute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo.

I completed my Ph.D. at the Global Hydrodynamics Lab of the Global Hydrology Group in UTokyo, under the supervision of Prof. Dai Yamazaki. I mainly worked on the representation of hillslope hydrological process in land surface model MATSIRO/ILS.
