Biography
His research focuses on physical modelling of flow processes and sediment transport dynamics. His main interests are in river dynamics, but sediment and water are everywhere so he works across a range of scales and studies estuarine and coastal environments. He manages research in the Total Environment Simulator (TES) which is a world-class experimental facility, opertaed by the University of Hull. The TES is designed for modelling environmental fluid and sediment dynamics across with flow, waves and rainfall in conjunction with a suite of laser and acoustic measurement equipment.
Research Interest
Physical modelling of river, estuarine and coastal flow processes and sediment transport dynamics, Application of laser and acoustic flow measurement techniques, Developing new techniques for physical modelling of ecohydraulics, Modelling environmental impacts on the seabed associated with offshore wind energy, Developing research in Natural Flood Management.
