| Biography |
| Asst. Prof. Tieh-Yong Koh graduated from Imperial College (IC), University of London with a Bachelor Degree in Physics in 1994. He completed his PhD programme in Atmospheric Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 2001. He spent the summer of 2001 as a visiting scientist with Ecole Polytéchnique at the Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique (LMD) in Paris , before returning to Singapore to join Temasek Laboratories at National University of Singapore as a Research Scientist in November 2001. He took up the faculty position at School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Nanyang Technological University since November, 2004. |
| Research Interests |
Tieh Yong's main research activity in the last few years involves research in numerical weather prediction and regional climate downscaling in the equatorial tropics (by way of the application of science to the betterment of society) and to use computational models (e.g. COAMPS, WRF, NHM) as research tools to investigate tropical weather and climate, moist convection, boundary-layer turbulence and pollutant dispersion.
Tieh Yong's research interests cover the following topics: Geophysical Fluid Dynamics, Tropical Meteorology, General Circulation, Mixing and Transport in the stratosphere and troposphere at global and regional scales.
