RESEARCH INTEREST

My research aims to tackle global environmental issues through the Earth-Science and Geophysical approaches. The main interest of my research is the dynamics of material transport on the surface of our planet (e.g., sediment, nutrients, and pollutants like microplastic), especially the one from shallow to deep marine systems.

A better understanding of material transport dynamics in such environments directly benefits us in terms of a better understanding of the impacts of anthropological activities on the global ecosystem and risk management of marine infrastructures.

I am working on my research by a wide variety of approaches to address the research aims, such as field surveys, laboratory-scale experiments, and numerical simulations, using cutting-edge technologies.
