Dr Naika MEILI

Naika Meili is a postdoctoral researcher with experience in urban climate and ecohydrological modelling in combination with geospatial and meteorological data analysis. Her past research focused on topics such as the quantification of vegetation effects on urban climate and outdoor thermal comfort, the characterization of urban dry islands, and the assessment of the hydrological effects of wildfires in tall forests in Australia. As part of the Comparative Ecologies of Cities team, Naika will focus on the effects of urban vegetation and city patterns on energy use, hydrological risks, and economic impacts.

During her PhD, Naika developed one of the first urban ecohydrological climate models (Urban Tethys-Chloris) which includes detailed plant processes and hydrological components to quantify the effects of vegetation on climate and hydrology in cities. She was also part of a highly interdisciplinary research team focusing on the assessment of ecosystem services in urban landscapes. After her PhD, Naika joined the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the National University of Singapore as a postdoctoral researcher.
