Project Description
Dr. Binbin Wang is an assistant professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Missouri. He received his Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. Subsequently, he was a postdoctoral fellow and a research scientist at Texas A&M University. Dr. Wang is currently serving as a member of the Fluid Dynamics Committee for the Engineering Mechanics Institute (EMI) of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). Dr. Wang’s research is in a broad area of environmental fluid dynamics and addresses particle transport and fate in turbulent flows. His research particularly concerns the multiphase dynamics (e.g., gas leaking and oil spills) and its impact on transport and fate of hydrocarbon particles. Dr. Wang’s research group uses observations in laboratories and the field as well as modeling to understand the turbulence and particulate flows. He research has been funded by the National Science Foundation, United States Geological Survey, Department of Energy, and Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative.
