I am an Associate Professor at the Civil Engineering Department, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, USA. My background is in civil engineering, and my experience spans several focus areas within water resources engineering and management and watershed hydrology, with particular emphasis on river floodplain physical habitat, aquatic and riparian ecosystems, and river restoration. My projects have been focused on integrated watershed hydrology, river hydraulics, habitat modeling (aquatic and riparian vegetation), fluvial geomorphology, sediment transport, stream water quality, storm water management, and urban flood hazards.
