Turbulence manifests across a spectrum of natural phenomena and engineering challenges, spanning various scales. Virtually all rivers on the earth exhibit turbulent flows, which are pivotal in governing the transport of energy and mass. The intricate structure of turbulence significantly influences the transport and distribution of sand, biofilm, and microplastic particles. Conversely, the presence of these substances continually reshapes the turbulence structure in natural river systems. The presence of microplastic particles and their interactions with sediments have implications for environmental monitoring, representative sampling, sediment transport processes, riverbed morphodynamics, landscape evolution, and sedimentary geology. The project I'm currently working on at SAFL is to investigate the transport of microplastic particles in sandy bed rivers and the effects of microplastic particles on bedform migration. Moreover, I am deeply passionate about interdisciplinary research, particularly in areas such as underwater acoustic measurement of sand particles, and signal and image processing. I firmly believe that integrating knowledge from diverse fields not only equips me to tackle complex problems but also brings me closer to uncovering the fundamental principles underlying natural phenomena.
