GENERAL
RESEARCH INTEREST
Water Resources/Environmental Engineering/Hydraulic Engineering/Coastal Engineering
SPECIFIC
RESEARCH AREA
My particular research interests include reactive transport and fate of contaminants in surface water and groundwater, environmental process modeling, environmental and geophysical fluid dynamics including limnological and riverine hydrodynamics, bioremediation, subsurface characterization. The focus of my current research is on understanding near-shore processes and the transport of pathogens in the environment. I am particularly interested in integrating laboratory and field-scale observations with high resolution numerical modeling to explore the relevant processes and parameters. I am also developing improved methods for reactive transport modeling as well as models for surface water – groundwater interactions. My research is multi-disciplinary in nature and often involves interactions with microbiologists, geographers, chemists and mathematicians.
