Healthy soil and water resources are key to the sustainability of any society. My research and teaching program in ecological engineering focuses on stream and wetland systems. Because natural systems are highly complex and require multidisciplinary research, I collaborate with ecologists, architects, geologists, and soil scientists to improve stream and wetland restoration design and to restore lost ecological services to society. As a teacher, my goal is to engage and educate future environmental professionals to appreciate and work with aquatic ecosystems.
