Hello, I'm Zhonghao Zhang. I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Victoria, supervised by Professor Caterina Valeo, working on solving critical urban flood challenges through innovation. My research integrates Fuzzy Entropy and AI-driven Real-time Forecasting to empower decision-makers with robust, climate-adaptive Green Infrastructure solutions.
