Dr Difei Deng

Back to

I joined 91ɫ��Ƭ Canberra in 2016 as a postdoctoral researcher working on tropical cyclones and extreme weather. I became an ARC DECRA Fellow and Lecturer in the School of Science at 91ɫ��Ƭ Canberra in 2020. I am also an Associate Investigaor of the ARC Center of Excellence for Climate Extremes and affilicated with the��Bushfire Research Group | 91ɫ��Ƭ Canberra.
