Climate Change and Climate Intervention (C3I) Research group (氣候變遷與氣候干預實驗室)
Research Field
Hien Bui earned her B.S. in Physics from Vietnam National University in 2010 and obtained a Ph.D. in Atmospheric Science from National Central University (NCU) and Academia Sinica (under the TIGP-ESS program) in Taiwan in 2016. She worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at NCU in 2017 and then at Colorado State University in the USA from 2018 to 2020. In 2021, Hien served as an Assistant Research Fellow at the IBS Center for Climate Physics in South Korea and became a Research Fellow at Monash University in Australia from 2022 to 2024. In February 2025, she joined the NCU Department of Atmospheric Sciences as an Assistant Professor.
Hien Bui's research group focuses on several important topics related to climate change, extreme climate events, and climate intervention. Their investigations center on the impacts of climate change on extreme weather events, how these events in turn affect the climate, and potential strategies to combat global warming. Additionally, they engage in science communication to help non-experts grasp these complex issues. For more information, check out their Facebook page:

Job Description
We are offering an internship focused on analyzing climate model simulations across various climate scenarios. The goal is to understand the impacts of climate change on extreme events, how these extreme events influence climate, and the effects of climate interventions.
Some potential research topics:
- Examine the impacts of extreme events on climate
- Understand compound climate extremes in future climates
- Investigate changes in climate variability in a geoengineering world
- Assessing the climate variability in the AI climate model
Preferred Intern Education Level
Candidates should have a Bachelor’s degree or higher, especially those interested in pursuing research.
Skill sets or Qualities
- The ideal applicant will be expected to have strong communication skills in English and a high level of responsibility.
- A background in one or more of the following areas is preferred: atmospheric science, statistics, big data analytics, computer/data science, or related physical sciences.
- Proficiency in at least one programming language is highly desirable.
