Research focus:
My research program focuses on developing fundamental understanding of mass and energy distribution and transport in soil, toward enhancing management and sustainability of environment. I am particularly interested in developing novel theoretical and practically applicable tools for characterizing land surface variables and processes using ground and remote sensing observations. I am also interested in multiscale observations and data fusion techniques coupled with soil physics in order to monitor spatiotemporal dynamics of soil physical properties and processes in natural and managed ecosystems. I am eager to develop physics-informed and data-driven techniques for enhanced modeling of soil physical/hydraulic properties and processes, nowcasting and forecasting of the water and energy cycle components in the context of the changing global climate.
