Personal profile

Biography

Pat YEH is an Associate Professor in the Discipline of Civil Engineering at Monash University Malaysia. He is originally from Taiwan. He obtained his PhD degree from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 2003 in the field of Hydrology, and since then he had worked in the University of Hong Kong (HKU), University of California (Irvine), University of Tokyo (UT), and National University of Singapore (NUS).

Pat YEH has expertise in hydrologic modelling, hydro-climatic data analysis, remote sensing applications in hydrology, and the assessment of climate change impacts on water disasters (flood and drought) and water resources. Up to now (2021), he has published 63 SCI journal papers with the Web of Science h-index of 29 (total citations 3906) and Google Scholars h-index of 31 (total citations 6031).

Research interests

My primary research fields are hydrology, hydroclimatology, water resources, and climate change. The fundamental goal of my research is to seek for better holistic understanding of the basic hydrologic and atmospheric processes and mechanisms, and their mutual interactions (e.g. paths, residence times, functional dependence, etc) governing the water and energy cycles over a wide spectrum of spatio-temporal scales globally.

Expertise related to UN Sustainable Development Goals

In 2015, UN member states agreed to 17 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. This person’s work contributes towards the following SDG(s):
