The 2023 Fall Seminar Series will feature Associate Professor Hui Peng of the College of Environmental Science & Engineering at Ocean University of China. Peng will give a talk about the application of interpretable machine learning in water science on Tuesday, Sept. 5, at 3:30 p.m. in Room 2217 of the College of Forestry, Wildlife and Environment Building located at 602 Duncan Drive, Auburn, AL. 

Peng is hosted by Dr. Latif Kalin, an instructor and research professional in the College of Forestry, Wildlife and Environment. Dr. Peng will discuss the interpretable machine learning method and its application in hydrology and water quality. Further, she will present the integration of hydrological models with machine learning for improved understanding and prediction of streamflow and river water quality.

Dr. Hui Peng is an Associate Professor in the College of Environmental Science and Engineering at Ocean University of China. This year she is a visiting scholar in CFWE. She studies hydrology and water quality modeling. She is an expert in many hydrological models (such as SWAT, RHESSys, and WEP) and machine learning techniques (such as ANN, RF, and XGBoost). She has published 20+ papers with 400+ citations. Dr. Peng earned her B.E. from Sichuan University and M.S. & Ph.D. from China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower.

Faculty, students, and the public are invited to attend this program. Advanced registration is not required.  Refreshments will be available after the seminar, and CFEs are available upon request. Parking is available on the third and fourth floors in the South Quad Parking Deck across from the CFWE Building on Duncan Drive.
