Areas of Research
- Coastal Hydrology
- Estuarine Hydrodynamics
- Flood Risk Management
- Multi-Hazard Risk Analysis and Modeling
- Sea Level Rise Impacts
His research interests are in the area of coastal hydrology, and involves multi-hazard risk analysis, management and modeling, and integrated coastal/estuarine hydrodynamic modeling.
His research is mainly focused on two categories of processes: i) extreme events with multiple underlying drivers, and ii) minor repetitive events (i.e. nuisance flooding) which their chronic impacts would pose considerable cumulative costs over time. His research sheds light on the projected risk associated with compounding effects of natural hazards due to human activities and sea level rise.
