I am an assistant research professor in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at Penn State University, University Park. My research interests focus on Critical Zone Science and Watershed Hydro-biogeochemistry. More specifically, I am interested in understanding how water moves and interacts with other components in natural environments. Ultimately, I aim to understand and forecast water quantity and quality at the watershed- and continental-scale, using both the process-based reactive transport model and the data-driven machine (deep) learning model.
