I am an assistant professor in the department of civil and environmental engineering of the National University of Singapore. My broad research interests cover from revealing fundamentals of geophysical flows in coastal regions to solving coastal engineering problems with advanced modelling techniques in fluid mechanics. I am deeply fascinated by the rigorous math in theoretical fluid mechanics and attracted by the advance techniques and beautiful results in experimental fluid mechanics. Things are more interesting if my research can either reveal the fundamental physics of the nature or create practical value for engineering applications. I like to combine any research methods to study an interesting topic, rather than finding a topic that suits a certain research method. A key challenge in coastal engineering is that the problem often involves multiple spatial and temporal scales, and usually the small-scale physics determines the large-scale phenomenon. My research follows the philosophy that one should first investigate small-scale physics and then use the scientific understanding to derive simple-yet-realistic models for large-scale applications.
