Biography

Dr Jaan H Pu is an Associate Professor at University of Bradford, UK. Dr Pu’s research concentrates on numerical and laboratory approaches to represent various water engineering applications which include the naturally compound riverine flow, sediment transport, scouring and vegetated flow. His research outputs have led to several high-quality journal articles, conference proceedings, book-chapters, and authored/edited books. He has also been assigned as the Associate Editor of Frontiers in Environmental Science, and Frontiers in Built Environment; and Editorial Member of Journal of Groundwater Science and Engineering, and Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing. He has also edited several Special Issues' Leading/Joint Guest Editor for MDPI Fluids, MDPI Water and Frontiers in Environmental Science. He is currently Visiting Scientist at Tsinghua University and at Nanyang Technological University. He has also been involved as reviewer for several internationally well-reputed journals.
