Brief Summary of my research

 

My major research work is improving "Fundamental understanding on effect of vegetation on soil properties". Soil properties such as hydraulic conductivitiy and soil water retention properties are investigated. In addition, mechanical effects of roots as fiber reinforcement is also evaluated. Three different methodologies such as laboratory testing, field monitoring as well as numerical analysis is used to achieve a particular objective. 

 

For Project interns, you can choose any of these methodolgies. One do not need any prior knowledge of vegetation transpiration. However, some basic concepts of soil mechanics (Darcy's flow; hydraulic conductivitiy ;soil water retention properties; Richards equation) is always beneficial.
