Chris Choi has research experience in computational and experimental fluid flow and transport phenomena in conjunction with environmental, biological and agricultural engineering applications. His recent research involves water security and safety, the optimal design of urban water distribution infrastructure, microclimate control for dairy cows, biofuel production, and the evaluation of real-time water quality sensors. Currently he is investigating the dispersion and fate of chemicals and pathogens in water distribution systems and corresponding quantitative risk assessments; sustainable dairy production in Arizona using innovative cooling systems, optimal algae raceway design using Computational Fluid Dynamics, real-time measurement of water quality and the computational simulation of solute transport in water distribution systems; and the development of water quality models and computer codes to improve the management of water distribution networks. He received his doctorate in Mechanical Engineering at Colorado State University and is currently a Full Professor in the Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering at the University of Arizona. He also serves as an affiliated faculty member for the Department of Biomedical Engineering and as a joint faculty member in the Environmental Health Sciences Program of the College of Public Health and Department of Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics of the University of Arizona.
