His research program is focused on water quality/quantity modeling at various scales with special interests in nutrient cycling in natural and constructed wetlands.  He has mentored several international visiting scientists, 3 post-docs, 2 Ph.D. and 12 M.S. students over the past 10 years who are currently actively engaged in the water resources and/or environmental field.

Kalin has authored or co-authored 57 peer reviewed journal articles and 12 book chapters, and has given invited talks at many international conferences. In addition to serving on the editorial board of the Journal of the American Water Resources Association from 2012 to 2015, Kalin currently serves on the board of the Journal of Water Quality, Exposure and Health (WQEH) and the Journal of Hydrologic Engineering.

“Dr. Kalin’s advisory and mentorship skills are evident from the several awards and honors awarded to his students,” stated Mohamed M.
