= = = = =**Research Interest**=

My research interests cover a broad array of topics revolving around how to develop sustainable engineering solutions to protect and manage water resources. In particular, I study complex geochemical processes under extreme weather conditions, which affect the net export of nutrients and contaminants to surface water and groundwater. Knowledge gained from these studies aids to develop strategies to protect surface water and groundwater from contaminants, to treat and reuse stormwater, and to develop novel adsorbent materials for water treatment.
