Patent: US20220053312A1

Developed Floodnet, a neural network modeling framework for accurate water level estimation - dealing with the spatial-temporal, cyclic characteristics and sparsity. Developed Designated Inverse Dropout (DID) method to handle missing data in neural network input.Developed, calibrated, validated and visualized hydrodynamic models for New York Harbor, New Jersey waterfront, Long Island Sound, Jamaica Bay and Barnegat Bay for various studies, including Hurricane Sandy hindcast, flood mitigation methods, and multi-decadal sea temperature change.Developed Rectangular, an open source model grid generator that automatically creates orthogonal grids on the local Earth curve. Developed the post-processing pipeline in the Port Authority NY/NJ and NJ Transit’s operational flood forecast system.Developed interp_barrier, a numerical technique for fast spatial interpolation around barriers.Invented Wave Eductor, a low-cost, durable, passive ocean wave pump for concentrated electricity generation.
