My research is focused on the development and application of numerical models to problems in the coastal ocean and the Great Lakes. A key component of my current research is to establish an integrated modeling system for the Great Lakes. This system will have coupled Water-Ice-Atmosphere-biological(NPZD)-water quality model components. The research goals are 1) analyzing, predicting and better responding to short-term episodic physical and ecological events 2) projecting the long-term influence of the climate change on the great lakes ecosystem and helping the decision-making for the Great Lakes ecosystem management.

My modeling research experiences in other regions include Massachusetts Coastal Waters, Gulf of Maine, East China Sea, Maritime Continent, Persian Gulf.
