(author), Savic, Dragan (author), Shao, Tan (author), Huang, Wei Min (author), Zhao, Tongtiegang (author), Chen, Xiaohong (author)Low-lying coastal cities are vulnerable to compound floods caused by many factors including river flows, tides and local rainfall. Many previous studies focus on the impacts of rainfall and tidal levels (two driving factors) on estuaries or regions near the main single river, while research about the three influencing factors on the floods...journal article 2024

Li, Huanhuan (author), Shen, Qianqian (author), Zhou, Xiaoying (author), Duan, Peigao (author), Hollmann, F. (author), Huang, Yawen (author), Zhang, Wuyuan (author)Chiral sulfoxides are valuable building blocks in asymmetric synthesis. However, the biocatalytic synthesis of chiral sulfoxides is still challenged by low product titres. Herein, we report the use of peroxygenase as a catalyst for asymmetric sulfoxidation under non-aqueous conditions. Upon covalent immobilisation, the peroxygenase showed...journal article 2023

Zheng, Feifei (author), Yin, Hang (author), Ma, Yiyi (author), Duan, Huan Feng (author), Gupta, Hoshin (author), Savic, Dragan (author), Kapelan, Z. (author)Under global climate change, urban flooding occurs frequently, leading to huge economic losses and human casualties. Extreme rainfall is one of the direct and key causes of urban flooding, and accurate rainfall estimates at high spatiotemporal resolution are of great significance for real-time urban flood forecasting. Using existing rainfall...journal article 2023

Yin, Hang (author), Zheng, Feifei (author), Duan, Huan-Feng (author), Savić, Dragan (author), Kapelan, Z. (author)Urban flooding is a major issue worldwide, causing huge economic losses and serious threats to public safety. One promising way to mitigate its impacts is to develop a real-time flood risk management system; however, building such a system is often challenging due to the lack of high spatiotemporal rainfall data. While some approaches (i.e.,...journal article 2022
