Professor of Civil & Environmental Engineering at Rutgers University
Urban Stormwater • Flood Mitigation • Watershed & Coastal Resilience • Green–Grey–Blue–Intelligent (GGBI) Infrastructure Synergy
About
I am a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Rutgers University. My work focuses on how water moves through natural and built environments. My research and teaching span hydraulics, hydrology, stormwater management, flood mitigation, watershed resilience, coastal processes and restoration, and integrated water and urban infrastructure, including the Green–Grey–Blue–Intelligent (GGBI) framework.
The site provides a central record of my academic and professional work, including research contributions, publications, teaching materials, invited talks, and reflections developed over the course of my career.
Research Contributions
My research spans urban stormwater and green infrastructure; hydraulics and hydrology; estuarine and coastal processes; watershed and basin-scale studies; and integrated systems such as the Green–Grey–Blue–Intelligent (GGBI) framework.
My work emphasizes resilient, sustainable, and equitable water and urban systems across scales—from site-based practices to watershed and regional infrastructure.
Publications & Reports
A curated collection of peer-reviewed papers, technical reports, invited presentations, grey literature, and selected public-facing writing.
This section serves as a broader repository than conventional academic indexes, documenting work across research, practice, and outreach.
Reflections & Synthesis
Occasional notes and distillations drawn from past and ongoing work in water and environmental systems. These pieces reflect on lessons learned, emerging questions, and connections across projects and disciplines.
Teaching & Mentorship
Graduate and undergraduate courses taught at Rutgers, along with selected educational materials and course-related resources.
This section also highlights broader mentorship through teaching, advising, collaborative projects, and professional engagement with students and colleagues.
Facilities
An overview of laboratory and instructional facilities that support teaching, experimentation, and selected research in water resources and environmental systems.
These facilities include flumes, hydraulic and hydrologic apparatus, and other tools used in coursework, student projects, and collaborative studies.
