Dr. Fu is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The focus of his research work includes air quality modeling in State of TN, US and Asia by using advanced models such as Models-3/CMAQ and CAMx; development of real-time mobile source emissions for AQ models, international air quality modeling assessment; global climate change with the effects of air quality; development of cost-effective control strategies and alternative standards for managing tropospheric ozone and particulate matter; development of environmental decision support system on identification and demonstration of how decision support and optimization can assist in the development of large-scale environmental management and policies; information technology research on the applications of a large-scale global climate and air quality modeling assessment. While working in the USEPA National Supercomputing Center, Dr. Fu was a developer of the Automated Data Transfer System (ADTS) using computer automation technique that is well-known USEPA AIRNOW. Dr. Fu has taught air quality dispersion modeling and advanced air quality management in the Department. Dr. Fu has obtained state/national/international grants (PI and co-PI) including intercontinental air pollutants transport, East Asia/China air quality modeling assessment and Beijing air quality modeling assessment for the 2008 Olympic Game, the impacts of agricultural emissions to air quality such as particulate matters and visibility in Tennessee, Tennessee air quality and transportation, the Great Smoky Mountain air quality and health assessment, Houston air toxics modeling, a decision support system (development of cost effective control strategies and cost-benefit analysis with high performance computing) for air quality management. Those projects are funded by USEPA (including STAR grant), USDOT, the State of Tennessee, National Renewable Energy Laboratory/DOE and the US-Taiwan bilateral air quality modeling collaboration project funded by US-Taiwan bilateral governments.
