Environmental Fluid Mechanics; Estuarine and   Coastal Dynamics

Awards & Honors

Jiangsu   Specially-Appointed Professor

Achievements

My primary research expertise   is in the field of environmental fluid mechanics, geophysical fluid dynamics   and hydraulics with a particular emphasis on using numerical simulations of   fluid flows. My students and I conduct fundamental cutting-edge research in environmental   fluid mechanics (e.g., flow turbulence and modeling) related to broader   applications in engineering, oceanography, and atmospheric science.
