My research previously focused on process dynamics in environmental systems (chemical emissions and exposure + lake and reservoir management) but has now broadened to process dynamics in convergent Anthropocene systems. Evolutionary mechanisms created a system of coevolving geophysical, biophysical, sociocultural and sociotechnical systems. The ensuing societal challenges of the Anthropocene (e.g., One Earth, One Health, climate change and impacts, renewable energy, adaptive infrastructure, disasters, pandemics, food insecurity, and biodiversity loss) must be holistically framed and addressed.

We collaborate with many international research groups, and I have been a visiting professor at National Cheng Kung University in Taiwan, Swiss Federal Institute for Aquatic Science and Technology (Eawag) in Switzerland, Tsinghua University in China, University of Granada in Spain, University of Sydney in Australia, and Scientific and Technical Center for Building (CSTB) and University of La Rochelle in France.
