Environmental, Sustainable Engineering and Water Treatment

Particle Transport and Environmental Contaminant Dynamics

Investigation of the transport, dispersion, and capture of particles, including microplastics and airborne pollutants, in both natural environments and engineered flow systems.

 

Advanced Water Treatment and Purification Technologies

Development and optimization of innovative water treatment processes aimed at improving water quality, resource sustainability, and environmental protection.

 

Jet and Plume Fluid Dynamics

Fundamental studies of jets and plumes from an energy transfer perspective, with applications to environmental flows, mixing processes, and pollutant dispersion.

 

Bio-Inspired Surface Hydrodynamics

Exploration of fluid flow interactions with nature-inspired surfaces, including hydrophobic and superhydrophobic materials, to enhance flow control and transport efficiency.

 

Natural Ventilation and Sustainable Building Systems

Research on passive ventilation strategies that utilize natural airflow to improve indoor environmental quality while reducing energy consumption in buildings.
