Specialty: Models of water movement and salts transport in the soil
 
The main focus of my research is physical processes in soil and groundwater including: modeling water flow, solute migration, heat transfer, plant root uptake, colloid and microbial transport. Modeling aims at optimizing favorable conditions for growing plants.
A combination of physical experiments, analytical and numerical methods is used in these studies.
