He has advised eight post-docs, 16 doctoral students, four master students, and served as a committee member for more than 54 graduate students, including doctoral and master students for their research projects, course work, and career planning, and a mentor for more than 150 undergraduate students. He has integrated research with education successfully through his funded projects. Dr. Fu has an excellent research record. The focus of his research work includes air quality; climate change; energy; assessments of intercontinental transport and climatic effects of air pollutants; the impacts of severe weather on health; air toxics modeling; and energy optimization planning.
Dr. Fu has served as Vice-Chair of the World Meteorological Organization’s Measurement-Model Fusion for Global Total Atmospheric Deposition Scientific Leader Team, a co-author of the Final Report of the Hemispheric Transport of Air Pollution for the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe and a reviewing committee member for air quality status in East Asia for the EANET, a governmental consortium in East Asia headquartered in Japan. He was a co-author of Technical Report, Climate Change, and Infrastructure, Urban System and Vulnerability, to Department of Energy and White House in the support of the National Climate Assessment in 2012.
Dr. Fu has been an active member of A&WMA since 2000. Dr. Fu has received 14 professional awards including the A&WMA’s Lyman A.
