2000Research
Research experience is focused on a variety of facets of river hydraulics, including: Bed-load sediment transport at grain scale, turbulence-sediment interaction; Local bridge scour processes and countermeasures; River bed-forms; Altimetric evolution of river beds and implications for flood risk; Sediment yield from mountain basins; Two-dimensional inundation modelling for flood damage and risk assessment; Flood risk analysis and mitigation in developing countries. Current research activities include (i) river morphologic processes; (ii) local scour, (iii) hazard and risk assessment and mitigation in developed and developing countries.
