Research and Extension Interests
I have research and extension interests in the areas of water quality and agricultural drainage. My Extension goal is to provide education to stakeholders to address their needs and issues. I provide education to diverse stakeholders, including producers, drainage contractors, crop advisors, conservation professionals, and agency personnel. I translate my applied research into educational Extension products. My drainage Extension website hosts those educational products.
My research goal is to increase the performance and profitability of subsurface drainage systems, and reduce their harmful water-quality impact. I am interested in innovative practices that reduce nutrient loss to surface water and conserve water for crop production. Some of these practices are controlled drainage, saturated buffer, and drainage water recycling. I am also interested in modeling of agricultural water management systems at the field scale. I value diversity and interdisciplinary research in advancing the agricultural engineering field and accelerating scientific discovery in the drainage community.
