Koutian Wu is is working on integrating rock moisture and wood moisture into the hydrological cycle using the Noah-MP model.
Koutian WuÂ’s research sits at the intersection of Earth system modeling and agentic AI. His work explores how AI agents can support the modification, evaluation, and validation of Noah-MP land-surface model, with attention to physical consistency, hydrology, energy balance, and urban parameterizations. Through projects including ESM-bench and Noah-Agent, he focuses on making AI-assisted scientific modeling more reliable for climate-aware decision-making and smart-city applications. He holds a B.S. in Earth and Space Sciences from the University of Science and Technology of China.
