Professional objective

To develop a multidisciplinary, advanced teaching and research program that strongly integrates (1) the coupled chemical, physical, and biological processes in the hydrosphere and atmosphere, (2) high-performance analytical and computational techniques on parallel and distributed computing systems (3) knowledge bases for environmental and economical risk-based decision-making.  My current research interests are theoretical and computational aspects of (1) subsurface, multispecies solute and microbial transport at multiple scales, (2) mechanistic-based watershed modeling for evaluation of ecosystem conditions, (3) physicochemical models for regional and global climate change studies, and (4) environmental and economical risk-based decision-making.
