Research Interests

Our laboratory focuses on critical aspects of soil and water resources management and conservation. We investigate the fundamental physical processes underlying soil salinization and compaction, examining their impacts on agricultural and natural environments. Additionally, we explore innovative approaches of rainwater harvesting and infiltration techniques for sustainable water management in urban areas. Our research aims to develop practical solutions for preserving these invaluable resources.

Research Areas

  • soil conservation
  • soil compaction
  • soil salinization
  • rainwater harvesting
  • managed aquifer recharge
  • urban hydrology
