Keer Zhang, Ph.D.

High Meadows Environmental Institute Postdoctoral Environmental Fellow
About

Keer is a postdoctoral fellow with the High Meadows Environmental Institute at Princeton University. She received her Ph.D. in Environmental Studies from Yale University in 2024. Her doctoral research investigates urban effect on surface climate and heat stress using global climate models and observation data. Keer’s research interests include climate modeling, urban climate, heat stress, and land-atmospheric interactions. She currently studies the impact of temperature-adaptive radiative cooling roof on urban thermal comfort and energy sustainability.
