Calgary, Alberta, Canada
- Led the City of Calgary Green Roof Project, focusing on evaluating the performance of extensive green roofs for urban stormwater management in cold climate conditions. - Conducted research on the effectiveness of extensive green roofs in mitigating urban stormwater runoff and associated pollutant loads in cold climate conditions. - Examined seasonal variability in stormwater volume reduction, peak flow attenuation, and pollutant removal performance. - Investigated the influence of climatological factors and rainfall characteristics on green roof hydrological and water quality performance. - Assessed the occurrence and impact of the first flush phenomenon during storm events. - Developed and applied models to evaluate both event-based and long-term green roof performance for urban stormwater management. - Oversaw the design, operation, and monitoring of a green roof and a conventional roof test facility, including instrumentation for flow and water quality data collection. - Utilized automated monitoring systems and environmental sensors to collect high-resolution hydrological, meteorological, and water quality data.
- Involved conducting original research, contributing to academic knowledge, and publishing findings. - Led teaching activities such as delivering lectures, conducting tutorials and lab sessions, grading assignments, and mentoring students.
