Bubble screen barriers for capturing eggs and larvae of invasive carps

Paper 1 - Proof-of-concept and initial tests of oblique bubble screens using egg surrogates

Paper 2 - Tested the efficacy of the oblique bubble screens with live eggs and larvae of grass carp

Paper 3 (in review) - Developed a new class of high-precision and economical surrogates for near neutrally buoyant invasive carp eggs

Paper 4 (reviewed) - Modified bubble screen approach to facilitate a high capture efficiency 

Effects of floating vegetation roots on hydrodynamics in an open channel flow

Paper (in preparation) - Studying the effects of root canopy density, morphology and submergence ratio on the hydrodynamics 

Seismic reliability of gas distribution networks considering liquefaction risks

Focused on developing a framework for optimizing the rehabilitation of aging gas distribution pipelines considering:

  • Liquefaction as a hazard

  • Pipe fragility function

  • High density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes as a replacement alternative

  • Cured in place liner (CIPL) as a pipeline repair alternative

  • Used a flow-based model to define a reliability index, a parameter to indicate the serviceability of the network in the optimization framework 

Framework for estimating the total loss of plastics from landfills to water-bodies

We estimated a novel parameter risk of plastic loss from the landfills in Indian cities considering:

  • Hazards (rain, flood and wind)

  • Exposure (landfill's proximity to a water body)

  • Vulnerability (determined by population, number of landfills in a city and fraction of plastics in landfills)
