Research Interests

Dr. Je's research interests are water quality management and mathematical modeling, contaminated sediments and remediation, automated environmental monitoring, sensor technology applications for environmental protection, web-based intelligent systems for integrated environmental information management, hazardous waste management, GIS application on environmental management, and application software development.

His current research includes evaluation and continuous monitoring of VOC gas emissions discharged to the atmosphere in a hazardous waste facility, assessing the impact of environmental release of organic vapors from laboratory operations, and the development of method to determine the optimal water quality parameters in QUAL2E water quality model using a nonlinear GRG optimization algorithm to estimate optimal parameter values.
