Zhixiong Li

Professor Zhixiong Li's research lab specializes in hydrological modeling and water resources management, with a focus on advanced data-driven techniques for accurate water level and flow forecasting. The lab emphasizes the development and application of machine learning models—particularly improved support vector machines and other intelligent algorithms—for short-term and long-term hydrological predictions. Research directions include model optimization, parameter tuning via cross-validation, and performance evaluation using metrics like RMSE, MAPE, and the index of agreement. The lab's work supports sustainable water resource management, flood control, and reservoir operation in major river basins such as the Yangtze River.
