Chuen-Fa Ni received his Ph.D. at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Michigan State University, MI, USA, in 2005. His research interests include the numerical modeling of flow and contaminant transport in porous media and fractured rocks, stochastic approaches for uncertainty analyses and inverse modeling, laboratory and field experiments to characterize hydrogeological properties cross-scale, seawater intrusion and reactive transport in coastal aquifers, land subsidence monitoring and coupled hydro-mechanical modeling, and the development of web platforms for groundwater modeling and data analysis.
