Enhancing Environmental Sustainability
Enhancing Environmental Sustainability
Research focus
Develop integrated solutions for food–energy–water security and climate resilience. Combine hydro-geophysical sensing, environmental chemistry, and AI-enabled decision tools to guide practice and policy.
Thrusts
- Field sensing for soil/plant health and water flux
- AI-integrated irrigation and water reuse
Decision-support frameworks for municipalities and growers
Facilities and collaboration
Research farm sites, environmental labs, geophysics/geotechnical facilities, and cross-college data infrastructure.
Ideal candidate
Background in environmental engineering/science, geophysics, ag systems, hydrology, or data/AI for FEWSS; strong field and analytics skills; interest in open, reproducible workflows.
Expected outcomes
Peer-reviewed publications, open datasets and models, pilot deployments, external proposals, and student mentoring in labs and capstones.
