Dr Dian-Yi Li

I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Exeter, working with Anthony Jones and James Haywood. Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Associate at Stony Brook University, collaborating with Prof. Kevin A. Reed. I received my Ph.D. from Nanjing University under the supervision of Prof. Zhe-Min Tan, following an M.S. from National Central University with Prof. Ching-Yuang Huang, and a B.S. from Ocean University of China.

I'm currently a researcher on ECLIPSE (Evaluation of Climate Intervention through novel Potential Strategies), a UK-Norwegian collaborative research project. At Stony Brook University, my research contributed to the Hurricane Risk Amplification and Changing North Atlantic Natural Disasters project. My master's and doctoral work centered on the dynamics and predictability of the tropical cyclone–ocean coupling system.

Broadly, my expertise lies in tropical cyclones, climate change, hazard assessment, solar geoengineering and Earth system dynamics and predictability. I have extensive experience with a wide range of modeling approaches, including operational air-sea coupled weather forecast models, global climate models, statistical and statistical-dynamical downscaling models, as well as realistic and idealized simulations, and the storyline approach.
