After receiving his PhD in Physical Oceanography, Guangzhen extended his research in the area of ocean science for another four years until he joined RCAC at Purdue University in 2021. He has broad research interests including data analysis, data assimilation and large-scale high performance numerical computations on fluid dynamic process in the ocean such as coastal circulations, storm surges and internal waves. He also paid great attention to the research including data-driven image transformation, remote sensing data mining and microplastic spreading from coastal area in a Lagrangian view.
