Tianze Luo recently joined the Sustainable URban Futures (SURF) Lab as a Ph.D. student. Welcome!

Before coming to OU, Tianze received his Master’s degree (MLA) in landscape Architecture from the University of Edinburgh and Bachelor of Agriculture degree in Landscape gardening from Northwest A&F University. Tianze’s research interests include urban climate modeling, urban thermal comfort, and natural solutions based on urban trees. His doctoral research will focus on urban climate models, particularly numerical simulations of heat stress and air pollution. Additionally, he uses state of art technology modeling tools (such as machine learning) to combine observational data, remote sensing technology, and climate model output to deepen our understanding of the urban environment.
