Research Interests
Our research focuses on the interaction between biological (animal/plant) behaviors 
and hydrodynamic environments, addressing agricultural challenges such as water and 
fertilizer transport in the agricultural field, emitter clogging in micro-irrigation, and 
canopy interception in spray irrigation. Using OpenFOAM-based CFD modeling, data-
driven simulations, and experiments, we explore mass/momentum transfer mechanisms 
at the bio-hydro interface to inform designs for water transfer, irrigation, and so forth.
