Research
My
research interests primarily lie in the area of environmental
management and modeling, with a particular emphasis on water resources
engineering and urban air quality. My water resources engineering
research focuses on developing holistic approaches to water resource
management and utilization, and improved estimation of the uncertainty
involved with forecasting hydrologic phenomena. This research primarily
encompasses the areas of stochastic and deterministic hydrology, system
engineering, probability and statistics, and computer science. My air
quality research examines the use of urban vegetation for improved
ecosystem services, with a focus on air quality. This research involves
the coupling of air quality, meteorologic, and biogenic models to
create spatially distributed predictions of the impact of trees on the
urban environment. All of my research utilizes many engineering tools,
such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Geographic Positioning
Systems (GPS), field hydrology and meteorology, and computer modeling
and simulation, to gain a better understanding of how best to manage
our environment. Current and past funded projects are listed below.
