Research Interests

Natural and Man-made Water Bodies:

Mixing processes in lakes, estuaries, reservoirs, rivers, wetlands and coastal waters; numerical modeling of lakes, reservoirs, estuaries, rivers and wetlands; artificial destratification and reaeration; sediment dynamics; hypersaline lakes; remote sensing; Lagrangian measurements; fate of fine particles; real-time environmental data networks; climate change and water quality; transport and spread of aquatic invasive species

Numerical Modeling:

1-D, 2-D and 3-D hydrodynamic and water quality modeling, eutrophication modeling, clarity modeling

Fluid Mechanics:

Double diffusive processes; convectively driven heat and mass transfer; stratified flows

STEM Education:

Understanding and stewardship of freshwater systems; use of 3-D visualization for education
