The project connects machine learning-adjacent modeling practice with environmental systems analysis and climate adaptation questions.https://zhang-beichen.github.io/projects/energy-transition-abm-lca/Fri, 05 Dec 2025 00:00:00 -0800https://zhang-beichen.github.io/projects/energy-transition-abm-lca/I developed a coupled agent-based modeling and life cycle assessment framework to study trade-offs in the siting of emerging energy transition pathways. The model was applied to Southern California and designed to reveal how scenario constraints, resource competition, and community burdens shape resilient transition planning.https://zhang-beichen.github.io/projects/drought-impact-ai/Sun, 01 Dec 2024 00:00:00 -0800https://zhang-beichen.github.io/projects/drought-impact-ai/This body of work applies natural language processing, explainable machine learning, and multi-source environmental information to improve drought impact monitoring and assessment. The goal is to capture impacts that are difficult to observe directly through conventional hydro-meteorological datasets alone.
