My main research interest is developing and applying new measurement systems and data analysis tools to understand and solve environmental problems. My past and ongoing projects include: ecohydrological modeling of semiarid ecosystems, plant-scale soil moisture variability and dynamics using wireless sensor network, remote sensing retrieval of water constituents in shallow coastal water, development and evaluation of a light-weight sensor system for emission sampling from open area sources, bayesian inference of fugitive gas leaking using fenceline monitoring network.
