Research interests
My primary research interest is in the area to model the sedimentation, hydrological, fluvial and coastal hazards by using GIS (Geographical Information System) tools, especially in the area with heavily human impact. In addition, I am also working with the UD Human Rights Center to demonstrate the spatial distribution of humanitarian crisis around the world. Prior to joining the university, I had been a Postdoctoral researcher at Tulane University.
