Joshua S. Fu Research Group

The University of Tennessee-Knoxville

Fu investigates how climate and environmental change affect systems people depend on. His research connects climate impacts with energy infrastructure, air pollution, water availability, carbon sequestration, and extreme events such as heatwaves, droughts, and floods. Human health provides another application area, while artificial intelligence and machine learning support analyses of climate, health, and atmospheric deposition. The group offers prospective researchers a broad but connected environmental-engineering direction: modeling changing conditions and tracing their consequences across infrastructure, natural resources, and populations rather than treating those impacts as isolated problems.
