About

I have significant experience working in national and transnational research groups in the broad field of civil and environmental engineering. One of my main priorities is to meet scientific challenges important for engineering community. My expertise originates from working at a number of European universities. I have collaborated with researchers at Tallinn & Tartu (Estonia), Dundee & Edinburgh (Scotland, UK), Stockholm & Göteborg (Sweden), and also from active participation in international scientific projects hosted in Delft (The Netherlands), Trondheim (Norway), Toulouse & Grenoble (France) and Tianjin (China). My professional strengths predominantly lie in the fields of environmental fluid mechanics, and are reflected in my publication record in transnationally-recognized scientific journals. The publication of high-quality papers in high-impact, transnational journals is one of my main priorities. I focusing on building on my strong publication record of high-quality journal articles, which help strengthen practical collaboration. I consider it important to participate in the committees of scientific conferences, maintain personal contacts and get informed about the state-of-the-art research in the fields of fluid mechanics. I have supervised a number of undergraduate and graduate studies, of which I have been the principal supervisor of three graduated doctoral studies at Tallinn University of Technology. At present, I do teaching in various engineering subjects, which are related to hydraulic and numerical modelling, and host international students.

Expertise Fields/Interests:

Strongly interested on elucidation, analysis, modelling and measurement of fluid dynamics in hydraulic systems of the built environment. Solving engineering problems that are related to the effect and spread of water and air pollution related to stratified flow and mixing. Develop fundamental research in environmental fluid mechanics and water systems engineering (e.g. stratified and buoyancy-driven flows, mixing and flow instabilities, underwater acoustics in marine environment, and water hammer in pressurized pipelines);
