About Hao Wang

Hao Wang is a PhD candidate working on an EU project - BlueAdapt, which is focusing on the impact of climate change on pathogenic risks in recreational waters. He's background is in nutrients and organic carbon cycle in large watersheds and HABs prediction.

His current PhD research is focusing on using a coupling model to predict the pathogenic risks in a source-to-sea system. Under such a research framework, he has developed an advanced Fecal bacteria die-off module. The new bacteria model is applied to the Rijnland + Katwijk region by coulping with 1D hydrology and 3D hydrodynamic models. In the final step of his research, the coupling model will be merged into the Delft-FEWS system to give a real-time forecasting of pathogenic risks for that specific region.
