Research Interests
Dr. Baki’s major research interests are in the areas of environmental hydraulics for sustainability. His research interests are multidisciplinary and have a number of cross-cutting themes that include research in full-scale live systems, pilot and laboratory systems, with the application of theoretical, computational, and analytical approaches. His general research topics include the following:
- Environmental Hydraulics
- Ecohydraulics (conventional and nature-like fishways, fish hydrodynamics)
- Ecological status and fish habitat suitability for natural river systems
- Hydraulics for urban drainage features
- Interaction of flow with aquatic vegetation, sediment, and ice
- Turbulence in habitat structure
- Sustainable and Resilient Water Infrastructure
- Enhance the resilience and ecological functioning of urban stream systems
- Retrofitting the box culvert/fish ladder structure for better fish migration
- Stream restoration and enhancement
- Sustainable Hydropower Development
- Nature-like fishway for ecological river connectivity
- Fish entrainment in hydropower operations
- Hydrodynamics and pollutant transport in lakes, reservoirs
- Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) and GIS Techniques in Water Resources Modeling
