Research Area:
Environmental engineering, Soil carbon modelling, Net zero land management.
Associate Professor Federico Maggi.
We are looking for highly qualified and motivated students to join our environmental engineering research group in the School of Civil Engineering at the University of Sydney for a full-time research project leading to a PhD degree. The project is a collaboration with the Sydney Institute of Agriculture (SIA).
The project is broadly covering the biogeochemistry of soil carbon, but emphasizes the interactions between the organic and inorganic components under environmental constraints. The aim of the project is to develop and use computational tools to model organic and inorganic soil carbon compounds, water and heat flow, and understand the mechanisms of their interactions. The project may cover various cross-disciplinary topics, including environmental engineering, agricultural sciences, hydrological processes, and land and soil management. The project can have wide applications including in soil carbon dynamics, nutrient cycles, soil physics, biogeochemistry, sustainability, and climate change.
