I use my expertise in fluid mechanics to solve complex environmental problems involving contaminant fate and transport. I specialize in the study of mixing, flow, and transport processes via laboratory and field experiments as well as analytical and numerical modeling. My project experience involves deep-sea oil spills, deep-sea mining, waste effluent discharge, land reclamation, and environmental impact assessments of global shipping discharge to water.My work has elucidated key physical factors, processes governing fate and transport of oil droplets released from blowouts into the water environment as affected by the subsurface application of dispersants. I have also developed analytical model and employed numerical model to assess the potential environmental impact of mining residual disposal technique and developed a dispersion model for assessing the impacts of shipping discharges on water quality and marine organisms. Additionally, I have designed and executed lab studies for understanding particle dynamics during open-water release of particle plumes relevant to land reclamation and dredging activities.My specific skill sets involve developing models to evaluate mixing, dispersion, and dilution rates of multiphase discharges; using numerical models such as the Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code (EFDC) for this application; oil spill modelling using the Texas A&M Oil Spill / Outfall Calculator (TAMOC); designing and conducting laboratory and field experiments for investigating contaminant fate and transport processes; analyzing field data to evaluate sediment transport.
