Tiantian Yang, Ph.D.
Hello, I am Tiantian Yang. I am an Associate professor at the University of Oklahoma, School of Civil Engineering and Environmental Science. My research focuses on hydrology, water resources, weather and climate, complex water-energy system, AI/DL development and application, especially for Subseasonal-to-Seasonal (S2S) forecasts and reservoir/lake operation, hydrologic modeling, and surface and sub-surface water resources management and planning problems across regional and global scales.

Annoucement:
We will be moving!
Starting at Jan 2026, I will be starting a new appointment as a Tenured Associate Professor at the School for Enviroment and Sustainability (SEAS) at the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor.
​
I will be hiring two PhD students (Fall 2026 start) and two Postdocs in the areas of Hydrology, Water Resources, AI/DL, Hydrometeorology, and Hydroclimatetology.
​
Please send your CV to: Tiantian.Yang@ou.edu
and copy to my new email address:
