Dr. Jiannan (Nick) Chen is an assistant professor in the Department of Civil, Environmental, and Construction Engineering at the University of Central Florida (UCF). He is the leading PI of the Pollutant Fate and Transport Processes and Geochemistry Laboratory (PFTPG) rooted in the smart cities initiatives at UCF. The PFTPG focuses on predominantly applied research in environmental and geotechnical engineering in urban areas, including solid waste management, green infrastructure, and local geochemical processes. The PFTPG diagnoses, analyzes, and evaluates the diverse and complicated environmental-systems problems by applying numerical methods, experimental tools, advanced sensing techniques, and site geophysical techniques.
