Dr Jaan H. Pu is an Associate Professor at University of Bradford, UK. His research concentrates on modelling and laboratory approaches to represent various water engineering applications which include naturally compound riverine flow, sediment transport, water quality, and vegetated flow. His research outputs have led to several journal articles (50+), conference proceedings (10+), edited books (2), and book- chapters (2). He has/is supervising 7 PhD students at Bradford (5 as their principal supervisor) to investigate river hydrodynamics, sediment transport and water quality challenging applications. He has been appointed as the Associate Editor by Frontiers in Environmental Science (IF 4.581); and Leading/Guest Editing various Special Issues for MDPI Fluids, MDPI Water, and Frontiers in Environmental Science. He is also currently Visiting Scientist to Tsinghua University, China, and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.
