Environmental science is an interdisciplinary academic field that integrates physics, chemistry, biology, and geography to bring a multi-disciplinary approach to analyze complex environmental problems. As such, candidates with diverse cultural, educational, and research backgrounds are welcome. I am always open to discuss research ideas and support applications of students/researchers that are motivated, hard-working, and passionate about water environment.

If interested, please send me an e-mail with : (1) your CV, (2) transcripts, (3) summary of research experience if any, and (4) a statement of research interests.
