Research Interests

• Developing geostatistical and stochastic methods to simulate groundwater flow and solute transport in heterogeneous media, and applying these methods in environmental projects, such as DOE Yucca Mountain Project
• Developing stochastic inverse methods to calibrate statistical distributions of conductivity and chemical sorption coefficient in heterogeneous media through pumping and tracer test data
• Developing new modeling approach for groundwater flow and solute transport in Karst aquifers
• Field and laboratory study of conductivity and chemical sorption coefficient distribution
