Projects

Stormwater Fate and Transport of Biological Contaminants (AnCOR)
Funded by U.S. EPA Homeland Security Research Program (2021–2024)
EPA, USCG, DHS
Led high-resolution SWMM development to simulate Bacillus anthracis transport across variuos urban surfaces under mulitple storm scenarios; developed custom Python scripts and integrated field data for decontamination strategy evaluation.

Climate-Sensitive Agricultural Management and Erosion Prediction (WEPP Modeling)
Funded by USDA-ARS (2020–2021)
Grazinglands Research Lab, El Reno, OK
Simulated impacts of storm intensification and climate change on crop yield and soil loss under multiple tillage systems using WEPP and Python automation.

Advancing Streamflow Prediction with SWAT and Machine Learning
Funded by U.S. EPA (2017–2020)
Robert S. Kerr Environmental Research Center, Ada, OK
Developed hybrid SWAT-SVR and SWAT-Wavelet models to improve streamflow and sediment predictions; supported EPA’s watershed and water quality tool evaluation efforts.

Soil Erosion and GIS-based Risk Mapping in Loess Plateau
Funded by NSFC (Grant No. 41001158, 2011–2013)
Chinese Academy of Sciences
PI of a rill erosion model project using 3D Cellular Automata and GIS; validated with lab and field rainfall experiments and 3D laser scanning.

Agricultural Nonpoint Source Pollution Risk Assessment in Poyang Lake Basin
Funded by the Ministry of Education of China (2011–2013)
Key Laboratory of Virtual Geographic Environment
Developed GIS-based spatial multi-criteria models for N and P pollution risk evaluation; created a database for watershed vulnerability zones.

GIS Educational Technology Transfer Project
Funded by Suzhou Yulong Science and Education Equipment Co., Ltd. (2012)
Developed commercial-grade middle school GIS systems using ArcEngine, Visual C#, and WebGIS; generated high-impact educational products and obtained software copyrights.

Climate-Hydrology-Substance Transport in Poyang Lake Watershed
Funded by CAS Knowledge Innovation Program (2009–2011)
Used geostatistics and wavelet analysis to simulate long-term runoff, rainfall variability, and sediment transport in the Poyang Lake basin.
