Ka Ming FUNG
Data Scientist
About “Ka-ming”
I am a Data Scientist studying the impacts of natural processes and human activities on air quality, food security, environmental health, and climate change, using process-based models, such as:
- Community Earth System Model (CESM) for modeling soil ammonia emission, and marine sulfur aerosols;
- GEOS-Chem to estimate aerosol pollution driven by agricultural ammonia emissions, and;
- DeNitrification-DeComposition (DNDC) to model crop yields of maize-soybean intercropping.
I graduated with a Ph.D. from Prof. Amos Tai’s group at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) in 2019. Then, I worked with Prof. Colette Heald’s group at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) as a Postdoctoral Associate until 2021.
I use my Cantonese name “Ka Ming Fung” for my academic publications, though I am also known as Victor.
