Research areas
Physics-Informed Machine Learning
Neural networks that embed physical laws to model soil water dynamics, estimate hydraulic properties, and solve inverse problems.
Water Flow & Hydraulic Properties
Measuring and modeling water movement in unsaturated soils — infiltration, redistribution, and evaporation.
Soil Structure, Aggregation & Carbon
Aggregate formation and stability, pore networks, and the physical controls on carbon storage.
Rhizosphere Processes
Root–soil interactions, hydraulic redistribution, and how plants physically reshape their environment.
Sustainable Agriculture
Conservation tillage, cover crops, biochar, and amendments for soil health and water efficiency.
