About Wanfang Chen Wanfang Chen Ph.D., Statistics spatio-temporal statistics statistics Wanfang Chen obtained a Ph.D. degree in Statistics from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), under the supervision of Professor Marc Genton at the "spatio-temporal statistics and data science" research group. Education and Early Career Wanfang Chen obtained her Bachelor Degree of Science in Mathematics at Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT) in China in 2013. She obtained her Master Degree of Science in Econometrics at Xiamen University in China in 2016. She joined the Ph.D. program in Statistics at KAUST in 2016. Research Interest Spatio-temporal statistics, wind Events Presented Events Oct 25 - Oct 31, 2020 Spatio-Temporal Statistical Modeling with Application to Wind Energy Assessment in Saudi Arabia Wanfang Chen, Ph.D., Statistics Oct 26, 15:00 - 17:00 KAUST In this thesis, I firstly provide a comprehensive assessment of wind energy resources and associated spatio-temporal patterns over Saudi Arabia in both current and future climate conditions, based on a Regional Climate Model output. A high wind energy potential exists and is likely to persist at least until 2050 over a vast area of Western Saudi Arabia, particularly in the region between Medina and the Red Sea coast and during Summer months. Since an accurate assessment of wind extremes is crucial for risk management purposes, I then present the first high-resolution risk assessment of wind extremes over Saudi Arabia.
