The primary area of our research is coastal oceanography and coastal engineering. We focus on specific research topics including hydrodynamics of coral and algal reefs, sediment transport, nearshore turbulence, surf-zone dynamics and ocean wave dynamics.  

We use modern observing and analysis techniques, combining with theories and numerical simulations to study the physical processes of multi-scale and multiphase flow dynamics in nature ocean environments.

In addition to apply modern commercial instruments, we develop new techniques to measure the flow momentum, waves, sediment properties and high-resolution coastal topography.

We hope that the knowledge learned can help us to understand the nature coastal processes and shed some light on developing strategies for coastal hazard mitigation and environmental protection.
