As a subsurface hydrologist, my research interests are focused on studying flow and transport mechanisms in saturated/unsaturated environments; applying and improving non-invasive geophysical techniques for characterizing the hydrological state of the subsurface for agricultural applications, e.g., irrigation and fertilization, as well as hydrological applications, e.g., aquifer recharge and pollutant migration; developing stochastic approaches to deal with uncertainties stem from soil heterogeneity; studying capillary trapping for subsurface CO2 and energy storage; and developing machine learning techniques for subsurface applications.
