Dr. Xander Wang is a Professor in the School of Climate Change and Adaptation at the University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI). Before joining UPEI, Dr. Wang worked as an Assistant Professor in the School of Geosciences at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Dr. Wang’s research is mainly focused on regional climate modeling, climate downscaling, hydrological modeling and flooding risk analysis, energy systems modeling under climate change, climate change impact assessment and adaptation studies, GIS, spatial modeling and analysis, big data analysis and visualization. Dr. Wang has a multidisciplinary background in climate science, environmental science and engineering, GIS and remote sensing, water resources, computer science, statistics, and data science. He is constantly looking for passionate graduate students and research scholars to work on the climate change challenges that we are facing now and will continue to face in the future. If you are interested, please feel free to contact Dr. Wang with a detailed CV and a brief introduction of your research interest.
