Interests include physics of sediment transport, fluid mechanics instrumentation, environmental hydraulics, fluvial hydraulics, and interactions between aquatic organisms and hydraulic processes.

Specific examples of past and current research include:

• Fish passage design for warm water fish species.
• Utilization of compost for erosion control on slopes.
• Investigation of flow patterns in a large, shallow lake to determine advection of dissolved oxygen. Field measurements, numerical models, and a physical model were all employed.
• Measurement of turbulence distributions in river meanders.
• Assessment of watershed characteristics using digital elevation models (DEM's).
• Experimental investigation of the effects of pipe inclination angle on the transport of suspended solids.
• Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) analysis of turbulence above a rippled sand bed in an oscillatory flow.
• Experimental determination of a sediment entrainment function for unsteady flows.
• Measurement of shear stress distributions beneath a model barge tow.
