About

My main research interests are in coastal and estuarine physical processes and the consequence of their transport properties; in particular, the transports driven by wind, wave, tide, density and affected by the Coriolis force and turbulent mixing. My recent works emphasize the use of numerical computational methods to simulate the current, water level, salinity, temperature as well as their coupled environmental conditions such as water quality, sediment and larval transport. My future goal is to make use of computer models as primary tools to integrate interdisciplinary research.
