Professional Interests
Professor Chiu conducts teaching, research and professional
consulting work in hydraulics, hydrology and water resources. His
research interest includes applications of probability concepts in
modeling and measurements of flow and sediment transport in rivers and
streams; flow forecasting; velocity and shear stress distributions;
transport of sediments and other types of solid materials through pipes
and open channels; and applications of probability (stochastic) concepts
in analysis and design of hydraulic systems.
