Research Statement: 

As a river engineering researcher, I have used flume experiments and numerical simulations to study turbulent flows and sediment transport in channel bends. I have always been fascinated by the various responses of rivers to erosion control measures in nature, and have long dreamed of conducting research using a physical model of a river. Fortunately, the PhD program at the University of British Columbia provides me with the opportunity to work with such a model, which will help me gain a better understanding of river bank stability. By combining my engineering knowledge with what I am learning from fluvial geomorphology, I hope to achieve the professional perspective needed for analyzing the responses of a river system, taking into account its different hydraulic, environmental, morphodynamic, and hydrologic dimensions.
