Research topics
- Advancing remote sensing techniques for surface wave observations
The efficiency and potential of remote sensing techniques for surveying wave fields and bathymetry are already well recognized. However, compared with conventional in situ measurement methods, there remains substantial room for improvement in terms of accuracy. I’m particularly interested in measuring coastal parameters using optical imagery and LiDAR, with a focus on identifying the inherent uncertainties and sensitivities in current methods and on developing methodologies to address these challenges. - Advancing field-scale understanding of nearshore wave-bathymetry interactions
Building on advanced remote sensing data, I aim to improve the understanding of wave-bathymetry interactions in the nearshore region within established theoretical frameworks. In particular, I seek to clarify how these processes govern energy dissipation, wave setup, and the morphodynamic response of beaches under energetic conditions, thereby improving the interpretation and prediction of nearshore processes.
