Dr. Baki’s major research interests are in the areas of ecohydraulics for healthy water solutions. 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:
- Ecohydraulics for Sustainability
- Ecohydraulics (fish passage design/optimization, fish hydrodynamics)
- Ecological status and fish habitat suitability for natural river systems
- Interaction of flow with habitat structure
- Turbulence effect on ecological communities
- Sustainable and Resilient Water Infrastructure
- Urban hydraulics to enhance ecological functioning
- Retrofitting barriers (e.g., dams, culverts) for aquatic connectivity
- Stream restoration and enhancement
- Sustainable Hydropower Development
- Nature-like fish passage for ecological river connectivity
- Fish entrainment in hydropower operations
- Water quality and sediment transport
- Data Analytics and GIS Techniques for Water Resources Management
- Shoreline/River bank erosion prediction using machine/deep learning
