Research Scientist

My expertise is soil hydrology of agricultural landscapes. My research program focuses on studying multi-scale soil hydrodynamics in order to qualify and quantify nutrients and contaminants transport to surface and groundwater, and to develop and encourage adoption of best management practices.
