Dr Linh Luu

Profile

Dr Linh Luu is a Researcher in attribution of climate change impact on human health at the Sustainable Law Program, Smith School of Enterprise and Environment. His research focuses on developing data and methods to quantify the effect of human-induced climate change on weather and climate variables, and investigating how these outcomes further affect human health through climate-sensitive infectious diseases in partnership with international experts on epidemiological models.

Prior to joining Oxford, Linh was a postdoctoral research associate working on the causes and impacts of atmospheric blocking over Greenland at the University of Lincoln. He was also a researcher at the Dutch MetOffice (KNMI) where he worked on modelling the impact of surface roughness on wind speed and was an active member of the World Weather Attribution initiative. He completed his PhD at the Université Paris-Saclay aiming at modelling extreme precipitation events associated with mesoscale convective systems and attributing changes in their statistical properties to human-induced climate change.
