Professional Experience:
2008: Assistant Professor, Auburn University
2006: Post-doctoral Scholar, University of California-Riverside

Professional Activities:
My research program focuses on water flow and contaminant transport in soils and ground water. Currently, we are working on a number of basic as well as applied research topics in soil physics.

Some of the basic research we are currently working on include soil hydraulic classification, field capacity estimation, influence of macropores on soil hydraulic behavior and development of pedo transfer functions.

We conduct applied research in to optimizing irrigation for turfgrass management and impact of contaminants (multiphase & single phase) such as NAPLs and pharmaceuticals on the envrionment.
