Long-term Annoucements
- Recruiting Undergraduate and Potential MS/PhD Researchers
We are seeking motivated undergraduate students to join ongoing research projects in environmental and water engineering. Current topics include computational fluid dynamics (CFD), machine learning applications in water systems, and sustainable water infrastructure. Students will gain hands-on research experience and opportunities for publication and professional development. A Master or PhD position may be available depending on funding availability and research alignment. - Recruiting Reviewers – Journal of Environmental Engineering (ASCE)
We are inviting qualified researchers and professionals (ideally have a PhD or MS degree) to join the reviewer team for the ASCE Journal of Environmental Engineering. Reviewers play a vital role in maintaining the high quality and integrity of published research. If you have expertise in environmental engineering, water resources, or related fields, and are interested in contributing to the peer-review process, please reach out for more details.
If you are interested in either opportunity, please contact Dr. Jie Zhang for more information.
