SHEN, XIAOTENG

Xiaoteng Shen obtained a Ph.D. in Marine Science from Virginia Institute of Marine Science, the College of William and Mary, USA, in January 2016. He then worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow and Research Scientist in the Hydraulics Laboratory of Department of Civil Engineering, KU Leuven, Belgium, from March 2016 to August 2019. He is currently an Associate Professor at Hohai University, Nanjing, China, where he has been since September 2019. His research fields include coastal hydrodynamics, estuarine ecology and estuarine particle dynamics. His doctoral dissertation focused on the flocculation and deflocculation processes of cohesive sediments in estuarine and coastal waters. He is also interested in the transport and fate of microplastics in the coastal areas. He has published research papers as the first or corresponding author in various academic journals, such as Water Research, Journal of Hydrology, Coastal Engineering, Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Marine Geology, Estuarine Coastal and Shelf Science, Continental Shelf Research and Ocean Dynamics. He also serves as a reviewer for several journals, notably Journal of Hydrology, Geomorphology, Marine Geology, Estuarine Coastal and Shelf Science, China Ocean Engineering, and Journal of CO2 Utilization.   (2021-01-01)

Student Research Opportunities

I am always looking for graduate students who are interested in cohesive sediment and their environmental impacts. Students interesting pursuing M.S. graduate research with my group should email me to inquire about potential research topics. Please include your CV, transcript, and a short description of your research interests. English native speakers with related research experience are highly desirable.
