Oliver Meng

Undergraduate Research Assistant

I completed my Combined Computer Science and Statistics BSc degree at UBC in 2021. My undergraduate research, under the supervision of Dr. Ameli, focused on developing a new statistical machine-learning model to estimate the temporal sources of streamflow across more than 3000 catchments worldwide. I like to snowboard, run, and play soccer in my free time. As of September 2022, Oliver has started the Master of Data Science program at Columbia University (USA). Oliver is still working with the HydroGeoScience for Watershed Management Laboratory.

Joanna Wang

Undergraduate Research Assistant

I will take BA in Statistics at the University of British Columbia in May 2024. Since September 2023, I have been working with HydroGeoScience for Watershed Management Lab, applying statistical inference to model the process-based linkage between snow persistence and streamflow in North American catchments. Outside the lab, I engage in swimming, fitness, and piano. I will commence a Master's in Data Science at Harvard University starting September 2024

Benjamin Ferre

Undergraduate Research Assistant

I am enrolled in my 4th year of Computer Science and Mathematics at the University of British Columbia. My specific areas of interest are the mathematical underpinnings of Machine Learning and the intersection between Machine Learning and the Natural Sciences. This passion for the Natural Sciences stems from a more general love of nature, so on my days off, you'll likely find me climbing in Squamish or surfing in Tofino.

Samadhee Kaluarachchi

Undergraduate Research Assistant (NSERC USRA)

I recently graduated with a B.Sc. Honours in Environmental Sciences from the University of British Columbia. I am interested in all questions concerning the intersection of human society and water resources, especially how various human activities alter water quality. My current research focuses on understanding the factors controlling the interaction between water flow paths and solute evolution and transport.
