Research Vision

At the forefront of environmental innovation, our research group is committed to advancing sustainable solutions for environmental quality and water resource protection. We focus on:

• Investigating the fate, transport, and transformation of pollutants across solid, liquid, and interfacial environmental matrices;

• Developing advanced treatment and remediation technologies to restore degraded soils and water bodies;

• Leveraging data science and machine learning to model environmental processes and optimize pollution mitigation strategies.
