Current Grad Student Opportunities

Project: Pollutant mixing under ice-affected conditions for cold-regions rivers under climate change (PhD)

Position: Doctor of Philosophy Student in Water Resources Engineering

Start Date: September 2026 (please ignore the September 2025 start date listed in the document below)

I am currently looking to welcome a new graduate student to the Doctor of Philosophy in Water Resources Engineering program at the University of Alberta. The student will join a collaborative research group focused on studying river ice processes, and will study under the supervision of myself and my colleague Dr. William Zhang.

We will be conducting laboratory experiments, field studies, and numerical simulations to study the impacts of different ice processes on pollutant mixing in cold-region rivers. Ice conditions observed in the field will be analysed and simulated in physical and numerical experiments to better understand the pollutant mixing processes that may affect water quality in the winter months. AI and machine learning techniques will also be used in analysis.
